✈️ Madeline shares about her 2025 Service Corps trip to Tanzania and why she would recommend the program to young people.

🛡️ Service Corps is a life-changing experience where members are challenged spiritually in their stewardship and service to God, as well as learning to adapt to new cultures and living environments. We desire that members will draw closer to God and be challenged toward a deeper commitment in ministry and service while gaining a larger vision of God’s work through their Service Corps experience.

📣 Join us on Tuesday, May 19th at 1:00 PM Pacific Time for our sixth Season 6 Armory Session: “Teen Discipleship” with Lieutenants Sarah & David Culley.

⚔️ The Armory is a Salvation Army Youth Department training series designed to equip leaders with the proper skills for youth ministry.

Sarah and David’s partnership in ministry began in San Jose, California, where they grew up and eventually married. Sarah’s passion for service took root at the Salvation Army Santa Clara Corps, leading her through roles as a camp counselor and County Music Director. Complementing her ministry experience, she holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, focusing specifically on the unique challenges facing teens and young adults.

David’s background is rooted in youth development and educational leadership. Having served as the Dean of Students at Achiever Christian School, he transitioned from a summer camp counselor to the director of the same programs that shaped his early career. Commissioned as officers in 2022, Sarah and David are the proud parents of an adventurous two-year-old son. They remain dedicated to mentoring the next generation and walking alongside young people in their faith journeys.
