Together Congress 2025 is an invitation for anyone connected to The Salvation Army in New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa to come together, share, learn, worship God, connect with others and celebrate all that God is doing through The Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is making a bold commitment to have young people participate and take the lead in significant parts of Congress - one of these opportunities is during the sung worship!

Our sung worship moments at Congress are always significant and Spirit-led and we are praying the same for 2025!

As part of this commitment, the kids’ stream music team and auditorium sessions’ music team will be made up of young people and adult mentors.

And we want you to apply to be part of this!
