Celebrating the Call. Honoring the Next Chapter.
Join us for a powerful evening of worship and celebration as we officially welcome The Proclaimers of Transformation—the 2025–2027 session of cadets entering The Salvation Army Evangeline Booth College School for Officer Training for seminary training and spiritual formation.
These individuals have courageously responded to God’s call to full-time ministry and will spend the next two years preparing to serve in The Salvation Army church and missional efforts across the Southern Territory and beyond. This event marks the beginning of that journey—and you’re invited to be part of it.
