outside flag

Outside the main entrance to the citadel is a flag pole. The flag is raised every Sunday for the service.The flag reminds Salvationists that they are working for God.

In the centre of the flag is written the Salvation Army motto, 'Blood and Fire', which is also seen on the crest. The 'blood' refers to Jesus' blood, and the 'fire' is the symbol of the Holy Spirit's power.

The red, blue and yellow colours of the flag

Each colour of the flag reminds Christians of something different about God:

Red - the blood of Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross so that everyone can be forgiven for what they have done wrong.

Yellow - the fire of the Holy Spirit. Christians believe the Holy Spirit is God's spirit on Earth, helping them in their lives. The fire shows Christians the power the Holy Spirit gives them.

Blue - the purity of God. Christians believe that God is perfect, and that there is no wrong in Him.
