[1] Situated in the western suburbs of Sydney, it has survived two arson attacks [citation needed], been led by some of the most prominent Australian Salvation Army officers of the modern era, and has actively ministered to the people of Parramatta and the surrounding regions since 1884.

Over the years, this site housed the main citadel, an auxiliary hall, church office space, Divisional Headquarters, Christian bookstore, and community welfare services.

[citation needed] The Salvation Army - Parramatta has a number of music sections, including Brass Band, Contemporary Worship Ensemble, Songsters, and junior groups.

Songsters are a four-part choral group that aim to bring the message of Jesus Christ to those that don't know him and also bless the congregation each Sunday through song.

The songsters are supported by a small ensemble of musicians on instruments including piano, bass guitar, and drums.

As well as local ministry, the group has toured in areas such as Asia (June 2001), Perth (2006), and other New South Wales regional centres such as Tamworth and Dubbo.

The Parramatta YP Band has toured all around New South Wales, this usually consists of a Saturday night concert, followed by a worship service at the local Salvation Army Corps on the Sunday morning.

The Children’s Ministry at the Parramatta Corps is co-ordinated by a "Young People’s Sergeant Major", commonly abbreviated to "YPSM".

The award work allows the Junior Soldiers to complete tasks that help them to understand how they can daily live out their Christian faith.
