About Leamington Community Church

A welcoming place for faith and community.

Who we are

The Salvation Army Leamington Community Church and Community & Family Services is both a church and a community support ministry located at 88 Setterington Street in Leamington.

On Sundays, we gather for worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. Throughout the week, our doors remain open to provide practical support to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity, isolation, financial strain, and other life challenges.

Our mission is not only to meet immediate needs but to walk alongside people as they build stability, confidence, and hope. We strive to be a transforming influence in Leamington — empowering individuals and families at every stage of life while helping to break cycles of poverty and reduce isolation.

Rooted in faith, we believe loving God and loving our neighbours go hand in hand. Whether someone is seeking spiritual growth, practical assistance, or simply a place to belong, they are always welcome here.

Our history

The Salvation Army has faithfully served the Leamington community since 1886, walking alongside individuals and families through seasons of both hardship and hope.

For well over a century, our ministry has supported some of the most vulnerable members of the community — offering practical assistance while fostering dignity, belonging, and spiritual growth.

Our legacy is one of compassion, service, and unwavering commitment to meeting human needs in Christ’s name, and we continue that mission today.
