Join us this Sunday for our Self Denial Appeal altar service for 2026.

Self-Denial is a significant part of our yearly calendar across the International Salvation Army, and this year we have seen videos on Malawi, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, and Fiji, reminding us of some of the ministry being undertaken there. These ministries have and continue to be greatly supported from the self-denial fund.
