Our History

Chelmsford  Citadel Corps (No. 823) opened fire on 24th June 1886.  Musical sections appear to have been formed almost immediately.  Certainly there is evidence of an active songster brigade dating to at least 1890.
Since its founding, the brigade has been proclaiming the gospel throughout the Chelmsford area, and beyond.  A visit to Sweden, based at Jönköping, in 1982 was very successful, and members of the brigade still maintain links

In the UK, the brigade has campaigned as far north as Edinburgh, and as far south as Paignton, Devon.  A highlight  for the brigade, came in 1997 when, during the first cease fire in Northern Ireland, the brigade travelled to the corps at Belfast Dee Street (now Sydenham). The Chelmsford Citadel Songster Brigade currently has about fifty  members. They represent a variety of occupations and take an active part in the Christian ministry of the Corps.   Their mission is still to represent the good news of the gospel  of Christ through their music and singing.

Our Mission

Along with the rest of Chelmsford Corps, it is the mission of the brigade to share the good news of the gospel with those who listen to us.
