Photographs posted on Sgfollowsall's Instagram account show at least three parked vans and two walls covered with pieces of cloth at the Upper Bukit Timah premises.
According to the post, staff from the outlet found "several parts of the walls and vehicles" spray painted red, adding that the words were "ill-intended".
"Rags have been placed over the sprayed area and (the) Christmas celebration event is currently ongoing," according to the post.
The Salvation Army's public relations head, Marc Lee, told The Straits Times that the words were "sensitive in nature and concerned religion", but declined to share the exact words which have since been cleaned off.
Three pictures posted by Sgfollowsall show graffiti sprayed on vehicles and walls at The Salvation Army's premises along Upper Bukit Timah Road.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said that they received a call for assistance regarding a case of graffiti at about 9.15am.
"Upon the police's arrival, offensive words written with red spray paint were found scribbled on the premises and on properties belonging to Praisehaven - The Salvation Army, including the building's walls and three vans," the police said.
A 43-year-old woman has since been arrested in connection with the case, within five hours of the report. Police investigations are ongoing.
The police added that they take a very serious view of acts that threaten Singapore's racial and religious harmony.
"Such behaviour will not be condoned. Offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law."
In a statement issued at around 5pm, The Salvation Army said that the act appeared to be intended to disrupt the Christmas celebrations scheduled at the location.
"After ensuring the safety of our congregants, all Christmas services proceeded as planned," a spokesperson said.
The incident comes barely a week after a man was charged for making a false threat of a terrorist act at St Joseph's Church, also along Upper Bukit Timah Road.
