The Doctrines of the Salvation Army

1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.
2. We believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship.
3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.
4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.
5. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience, they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall, all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.
7. We believe that repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.
8. We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.
9. We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.
10. We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
11. We believe in the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the body, in the general judgement at the end of the world, in the eternal happiness of the righteous, and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

Adam’s Place is our new men's jail diversion/prevention and veterans intervention homeless shelter serving St. Lucie County. The shelter celebrated its opening in January 2019 and is the product of collaboration among many agencies and stakeholders to provide services to homeless veterans as well as homeless men who would otherwise face transport to jail with possible misdemeanor arrest charges.

The Jail Diversion/Prevention and Veterans Intervention Homeless Shelter program is designed to break the cycle of homelessness, incarceration and subsequent return to homelessness by first providing temporary “drop off” shelter housing and basic needs care and then conducting preliminary screening of individual needs. After an initial assessment, each client meets weekly with case managers for personalized services, including referral to support agencies that provide mental health or substance abuse treatment as well as job training and placement. The goal is to help each individual find employment, resources and housing for long-term stability.

The Salvation Army is seeking businesses and other employers willing to partner with us to offer job opportunities and training for these men, as well as landlords willing to provide affordable housing. Donations of twin-sized sheets and comforters, pillows, laundry detergent, toiletries and men's clothing are appreciated, as are monetary donations.

Adam's Place is located at 609 N. 7th Street in Ft. Pierce. For more information, call 772-448-8082.
