This is a significant step in your spiritual and professional development, and we are confident that you will find this experience both transformative and rewarding.
The officer training program is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual depth necessary to lead with compassion, wisdom, and integrity. You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced leaders, engage in meaningful discussions, and participate in hands-on ministry activities that will prepare you for the challenges and joys of serving others.
As you begin this new chapter, we encourage you to embrace every moment with an open heart and a willing spirit. Take advantage of the available resources and support, and remember that you are not alone on this journey. Your fellow cadets, instructors, and mentors are here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and prayer.
We believe in your potential to profoundly impact the lives of those you will serve. Your dedication to the mission of The Salvation Army and your commitment to personal growth will be the foundation of your success. Trust in God’s plan for your life, and let His love and grace transform you daily.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
