Castledowns Church
has been at its current location since 1995. But
the history of the church goes back a long time before
that. Starting back around the turn of the 1900's as
The Salvation Army #2 Corps (a corps is a Salvation Army
term for a church), it then became the Alberta Avenue
Corps located on Alberta Avenue (118th Ave) and then
became known as the Edmonton Northside Corps.
In 1990 the
congregation moved into a temporary location and merged
with another congregation which was the Edmonton West
Corps. Together the new congregation worked to
establish themselves in the Castledowns area which
resulted in the building of the church we now reside in.
We have a rich and
long heritage in Edmonton but we are not stuck in the
past we are building upon it. We are working to develop
new and exciting ways to connect with our community and
communicate the gospel message.
