Each cadet feels a sense of calling from God to serve as a Salvation Army Officer and signs the following covenant at the completion of the their training at the School for Officer Training.

MY COVENANT

Called By God

to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as an Officer of The Salvation Army

I BIND MYSELF TO HIM IN THIS SOLEMN COVENANT

To Love and serve Him supremely all my days;

To Live to win souls and make their salvation the first purpose of my life;

To Care for the poor, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, love the unlovable, and befriend those who have no friends;

To Maintain the doctrines and principles of The Salvation Army and; by God’s Grace, to prove myself a worthy Officer;

Done in the strength of my Lord and Savior, and in the presence of the Territorial Commander, the Training Staff, and fellow Cadets;
