Memphis Corps Worship and Community CentersAt the heart of The Salvation Army's ministry in Memphis are the local Corps Community Centers. In keeping with the military metaphors used throughout The Salvation Army, each "Corps" is a place of worship where church services are conducted for any who choose to attend. The Corps provide a sense of congregation and help meet the needs not only of the body, but the mind and spirit as well. There are two Corps in Memphis – Winchester Corps and Ben Lear South Citadel. The Corps provide daily contact with the children, teens, adults and elderly individuals and families who need spiritual and emotional guidance. The Corps are a place where all may gather to find the riches of God's love, spiritual growth and/or Christian fellowship. Those in attendance are a cross section of any given community in relation to age, gender, income level and racial or ethnic background. Our Corps serve as a hub around which all Salvation Army activities, ministries and other services revolve. At our Corps, you will find a variety of programs such as neighborhood worship services, Women's Home League and programs for youth. Recreational and character-building programs also are available for all who want to participate. Through men's and women's programming at the Corps, you'll find Bible studies, after school enrichment programs, senior programs and character-building recreational programs. Worship services are held on Sunday morning. Ben Lear South Citadel has been in its present location since 1955. It is a continuation of the first Corps opened in Memphis in 1900. Ben Lear South Citadel works very closely with the Adult Rehabilitation Center and provides a "church home" for the men who are in the rehabilitation program. The Winchester Corps was established in 1998 in response to the needs of the local neighborhood. The Winchester Corps has a partnership with Memphis Athletic Ministries and also sponsors a Boy Scout Troop.
