To continue making this all happen, the couple aims to build more awareness of its programs by growing its advisory council<\/a>, a group consisting of community business leaders and volunteers in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n Many of these programs may not be as visible or well known compared to the nonprofit\u2019s century-long red kettle campaign tradition, Carolynn Webb said. That\u2019s how it felt when she and her husband first learned about the Salvation Army when the couple started volunteering for the nonprofit.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the early \u201990s, the couple felt God\u2019s calling to a full-time life of ministry, Rob Webb said. They were commissioned as Salvation Army officers in 1995 and ordained as Christian ministers within the Salvation Army. The two hold the role of majors, which are for Salvation Army officers who have at least 15 years of service.<\/p>\n The appointment marks the couple\u2019s first in the Fort Worth area, but not Texas. Every three to five years, the Salvation Army moves its leadership around the country, similar to the military. The couple completed three years as area commanders in Houston before coming up north.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s kind of overwhelming just to think about everything that the Salvation Army actually does and that we have the opportunity to provide to others,\u201d Carolynn Webb said. \u201cBut it\u2019s an honor to be able to serve in the Salvation Army and help so many people in so many different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n Marissa Greene is a Report for America corps member, covering faith for the Fort Worth Report.
