����ר�� and The Salvation Army have renewed their partnership, building on their shared Wesleyan-holiness heritage and commitment to serving diverse populations.

“This renewed partnership demonstrates our shared commitments to spreading the Gospel of salvation and loving and serving our brothers and sisters. No organization better combines those commitments than the Salvation Army,” said Wayne D. Lewis, Jr., President of ����ר��. “With our common grounding in the Wesleyan Holiness tradition and shared belief in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform hearts and lives, I could not be more pleased to renew our historic partnership. Our alliance will demonstrate what’s possible when Gospel-centered organizations work together for the cause of Christ.”

The renewed agreement creates clear pathways for Salvationists at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Graduates of The Salvation Army College for Officer Training will receive guaranteed admission to ����ר��’s online MBA program along with a tuition discount.
For prospective undergraduate students interested in ministry and service careers, this partnership opens doors to combine ����ר��’s academic excellence with hands-on training through The Salvation Army’s established programs. A new 3+2 program allows students to complete three years at ����ר�� and two years at The Salvation Army College for Officer Training, graduating with a ����ר�� bachelor’s degree. This arrangement particularly benefits students pursuing majors in Bible & Theology, Psychology and Business Administration.

“Over the years, a ����ר�� education has equipped many Salvation Army officers and employees for sacred service,” added Kevin L. Stoops, divisional commander of The Salvation Army. “It is a privilege to renew a partnership that will contribute to the continued mission accomplishment of both organizations.”

The renewed collaboration demonstrates ����ר��’s commitment to creating meaningful pathways that combine academic excellence with practical service opportunities that prepare graduates who can impact their communities and the world for Christ. “I’m especially excited about this new era of partnership providing several pathways for students to complete their officer training while graduating with a bachelor’s degree from ����ר��,” added ����ר�� provost, David Davies. “Our agreement reflects both the respect ����ר�� holds for graduates of the College for Officer Training and the high value that The Salvation Army is placing on ����ר��’s Christ-centered MBA program.  I’m excited to see how God will use this relationship in the decades to come.”
