The Salvation Army announces officer transition in Henderson
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Salvation Army of Henderson has announced an upcoming leadership transition as part of the organization's regular officer appointments.
The organization says current officers, Majors Norman and Claire Grainger, will be departing Henderson, with new officers arriving to assume leadership of the local ministry and social service programs.
Officials say as part of The Salvation Army's structure, officers, who are ordained ministers, are periodically reassigned to new communities to bring 'fresh perspective and leadership' to different areas of ministry. These moves typically occur every few years and are guided by the organization's leadership based on the needs of both the officers and the communities they serve.

'We are deeply grateful to Majors Grainger for their faithful service in Henderson,' said Major Al Newsome, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army in Kentucky and Tennessee. 'Their dedication to meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of our neighbors has made a meaningful impact in our community.'
The Salvation Army says the new officers, Captains Doug and Jane Monroe, will officially begin their service in Henderson on June 22. The community is invited to a special 'Welcome Sunday service' on June 22 at 11 a.m. at The Salvation Army Worship and Community Center, located at 1213 Washington Street, to meet and greet the new leadership team.
Officials say Captains Doug and Jane Monroe come to Henderson from Nashville, where they recently served as corps officers at the Madison Corps in North Nashville for several years.
