Please welcome to The Salvation Army of Enid on June 28, 2026 our new Commanding Officers Majors Bobby & Nakisha Carr:

Majors Bobby and NaKisha Carr have faithfully served as officers with The Salvation Army since 2003, dedicating over two decades to ministry across various appointments throughout the Southern Territory. Their passion for serving others and advancing the mission of The Salvation Army has been evident in every community they have been called to serve.

NaKisha is a native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Bobby is originally from Fort Smith, Arkansas. The couple was married in January 1999 and are blessed with two adult children, Bobilyn Carr Weldy and Noah Carr. They recently celebrated the addition of their son-in-law, Samuel Weldy, to their family.

Before entering full-time ministry, Bobby served honorably in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he built a career in local law enforcement, serving communities in Little Rock and Fort Smith, Arkansas, as well as surrounding areas.

NaKisha pursued her education at Rose State College, Northern Oklahoma College (Tonkawa campus), and the University of Arkansas–Fort Smith, where she and Bobby first met. Throughout her early years, she gained valuable experience working in the food service industry, youth services, and with The Salvation Army—laying the foundation for a lifetime of ministry.

Together, the Carrs bring a deep love for people, a strong sense of mission, and a heart for service. Their ministry has included leadership in homeless shelters, transitional housing programs, social services, corps ministry, and thrift store operations—each role reflecting their commitment to meeting both physical and spiritual needs.

As they look ahead, Majors Carr are excited and honored to serve the Enid community. They are eager to build meaningful relationships with community leaders, staff, volunteers, and the corps congregation. With hearts for collaboration and compassion, they look forward to working alongside others to bring hope, help, and healing to those in need throughout Enid.

A Farewell Message to the City of Enid
From Captains David & Amanda Brittle

Dear Enid,

With full hearts and deep gratitude, we share that after six meaningful and life-changing years, we have been appointed to serve in Knoxville, Tennessee and will be leaving on June 21st. While we are excited about what God has ahead, leaving Enid is not easy—because this community has truly become family to us.

From the moment we arrived, you welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and a spirit of generosity that reflects the very heart of The Salvation Army. Together, we have prayed, served, celebrated, and walked through both joys and challenges. We have witnessed the strength and compassion of this city in countless ways—from volunteers who faithfully gave of their time, to donors who sacrificially supported the mission, to neighbors who simply showed up for one another in love.

It has been an honor to serve alongside you—whether through programs that brought hope to families, moments of worship that lifted our spirits, or community events that brought smiles and connection. The ministry here has never been about us—it has always been about us together—a community united in meeting needs and sharing God’s love in practical ways.

Personally, these years have shaped us deeply. The friendships we have built, the lives we have shared, and the stories we will carry with us are gifts we will treasure always. Enid is not just a place we served—it is a place that has forever changed us.

As we step into this next chapter, please know that the seeds planted here will continue to grow. The work of The Salvation Army in Enid is strong because of you, and we have every confidence that the mission will continue to thrive with Majors Bobby & Nakisha Carr.

Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and loving us so well. We will carry Enid in our hearts wherever we go.

May God bless each of you, and may His grace continue to guide and strengthen this wonderful community.

With love and gratitude,
Captains David & Amanda Brittle
