Welcome to Kår 393
Vision
Kår (corps) 393 wants to be a church that is cutting edge and a resource within the youth culture in Stockholm.
History
In February of 1996 a group of people started to pray. We had a longing to express our Christian faith in a new way.
In 1998, Kår (corps) 393 officially started.
Fryshuset:
In April of 1996 the Salvation Army was invited to Fryshuset which is one of the biggest youth centers in Europe.
Since then, members of Kår 393 have been participating in different activities at Fryshuset,
especially the summer activities organized for teens in the centre of Stockholm.
Locus:
In June 1996 God gave us a dream to open a home for teenagers in Stockholm.
The goal was to integrate a home and a social institution.
Members of the corps can rent an apartment at Locus and live there as role models.
In the autumn of 1999, Locus opened and since then it has been an important part of our church.
Family Centre:
In 2007, we started investigating the possibility of opening a centre for children and young people whose parents struggle with various forms of addiction.
Members of the corps have been educated in how to run support groups for these needy children.
We are looking to open the centre in March 2009.
