The Salvation Army originated in Moss Vale, where a church, or Corps, was opened in 1885 by Captain Harry Stephens.
In 1888, Moss Vale Salvos decided to expand and start meetings in Bowral, with the first officers Captain Maggie Doland and Cadet Emma Piper. Soon there were expressions of interest in The Salvation Army in Kangaloon, Kangaroo Valley, Burrawang and Meryla. Roads were poor at that time and the only transport was horse and sulky, so to service this number of outposts was a mighty effort.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the work of The Salvation Army consolidated in Bowral. Mittagong Salvation Army, which opened in 1886, closed in 1893, Moss Vale Salvation Army was closed in 1905 and became an outpost of Bowral. Today, The Bowral Salvation Army takes in the whole of the Southern Highlands and hold meetings in Bowral.
Undergoing renovations in 2017.
