Salvation Army Commissions New Leaders to Live the Gospel

The Salvation Army commissioned twenty-three men and women from the UK, Channel Islands, Netherlands and Australia to live out the Gospel with their lives as they were commissioned and ordained into full time Christian ministry over the weekend.

The commissioning ceremony at Wembley Conference on Saturday was the climax of two years of dedicated training for the officers at the Salvation Army’s William Booth College.

The skills and experiences of the newly ordained officers will give the men and women the strength and ability to serve their communities, spread the message of the Gospel and fight against social injustice.

The group have prepared for their offices in service under the sessional name of 'Visionaries'.
