Local Leadership
The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 by a Methodist street preacher named William Booth. He worked with people in the slums of East London. In 1880, The Salvation Army began work in the United States and in a few short years the ministry of The Salvation Army spread across the country, reaching the streets of Marinette in 1889.
During World War II, The Salvation Army operated 3,000 service units for the armed forces...and led in the formation of the USO. Since World War II, the Army has continued its own worldwide program.
Today The Salvation Army continues to work where the need is greatest, motivated by its faith in God and its love for all people. The Salvation Army is now serving 'the least of these' in over 128 countries.
Our Local Leadership
Majors Bob and R
uth Fay have devoted 43 years to active service as officers of The Salvation Army, serving in 11 stateside appointments and participating in several short-term mission trips to other countries.
After retiring from active officership in 2021, Bob and Ruth returned to Ruth’s hometown of Menominee, Michigan, where they became active members of the local Salvation Army congregation. They soon discovered that the Lord had other plans for their retirement. An opportunity arose to “put retirement on the back burner” and return to full-time ministry as Corps Officers.
Today, Bob and Ruth provide leadership for The Salvation Army’s programs, services, and ministry throughout the Stateline area, serving individuals and families in Marinette County, Wisconsin, and Menominee County, Michigan.
They are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Lord and the communities they call home.
