CALLED. FORMED. SENT.

More than a college, EBC is a place where calling is clarified, character is formed, and lives are prepared for God’s mission.

More Than a College

Evangeline Booth College is home to The Salvation Army’s School for Officer Training in the USA Southern Territory.

EBC is a Christ-centered covenant community where cadets are formed for a lifetime of service as Salvation Army officers. Through worship, learning, shared life, and practical ministry, cadets grow in their relationship with God, develop a truthful understanding of themselves, and prepare to participate faithfully in God’s mission.

Our Formation Journey

Know God. Know Self. Know the Mission.

Know God

We seek more than knowledge about God. We are learning to live in a growing relationship with Him, rooted in Scripture, prayer, holiness, and the transforming presence of the Holy Spirit.

Know Self

We grow in self-awareness, emotional and spiritual maturity, resilience, and Christlike character. Cadets learn to recognize their gifts, face areas of growth, and lead from an identity grounded in God’s grace.

Know the Mission

We prepare to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, serve human need, and lead with compassion and integrity, especially among people who are marginalized, vulnerable, or overlooked.
