The Salvation Army of Traverse City Celebrates 125 Years of Service
to Grand Traverse, Leelanau and Benzie Counties.
The celebration culminates with a community-wide open house and BBQ lunch
September 18 from 11:30– 1:30pm at The Salvation Army Community Center
(Traverse City, MI) August 28, 2019 – The Salvation Army began its ministry in 1894 at the command of Captain Smith and Lieutenant Phillips – two unassuming young women who were committed to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting human needs in His name without discrimination. The first Salvation Army location was at Novotny’s Hall – the current location of the Blue Tractor on Union Street. Since then, 22 locations have been utilized to house Salvation Army programs and services.
Early success in Traverse City was not guaranteed. An excerpt from the Grand Traverse Herald from February 22, in 1894 provided a perspective on the early days:
“About ten days ago a branch of the Salvation Army was started here, and contrary to all expectations, success has been assured from the beginning.”
Fast forward 125 years as The Salvation Army has stayed true to its original calling, inspired by a quote from Catherine Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army: “There is no reward equal to that of doing the most good to the most people in the most need.”
“We are deeply honored to be here at this point in time in the history of The Salvation Army in Traverse City,” said Major Jeffery Russell, Corps Officer, The Salvation Army of Traverse City. “It is incumbent upon all of us here to be mindful of our past and yet at the same time, be focused on the future and the responsibility we have to serve those in our community with hope, compassion and love.”
In celebration of the 125th Anniversary of The Salvation Army in Traverse City, there will be an open house and BBQ lunch, September 18, 2019 from 11:30am – 1:30pm at The Salvation Army Community Center at 1239 Barlow St. Traverse City.
“Our open house is a celebration of the generous and compassionate support of generations of individuals, families and businesses who have quietly blessed our programs and our community neighbors with help, hope and compassion when they needed it most for 125 years. We are grateful to current staff and employees and those officers who have come before us,” said Major Jeffery Russell. “As long as there is need, The Salvation Army will be a consistent beacon of hope in Northern Michigan.”
The public is encouraged to support The Salvation Army of Traverse City by sending financial gifts directly to The Salvation Army, 1239 Barlow Street, Traverse City, Michigan 49686-4256, by calling 231.946.4644 or donating online at SATraverseCity.org.

Synopsis
In this farcical comedy by Oscar Wilde, two bachelors create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome social obligations. When they attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men named Ernest, confusion reigns in this tangled tale that Wilde called “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.”
Old Town Playhouse is located at 148 East 8th Street, at the southwest corner of East 8th and Cass Streets in Traverse City. Contact the Playhouse for more information.
