I want to warmly welcome you to the College for Officer Training. The CFOT faculty and staff are both blessed and honored to engage with you and your session mates as you begin this journey of preparing yourselves to become Salvation Army Officers. The mission of the College for Officer Training is to develop men and women, in knowledge, capabilities, spirit and character, who will be able to sustain and advance the mission of The Salvation Army in the salvation of the world. 

            The College for Officer Training is fully accredited by the New York State Board of Regents. This accreditation ensures that the college is meeting established standards of academic excellence. As a faith-based institution of higher education, the CFOT strives to integrate academic knowledge, practical field experiences, and spiritual formation to help prepare every cadet for a lifetime of ministry. Cadets who successfully complete the two-year program of study will receive an Associate in Applied Science degree. 

The CFOT experience can be truly life-changing if you come to the college ready to embrace all the opportunities that you will be presented with over the next two years. The true integration of spiritual formation, academics, community/family life, mentoring relationships, and hands-on ministry will be transformative. I urge you to “go all in” and make the most of your days here at the CFOT. 

 

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 10:27 NIV). 

May God bless you! 

In His Service, 

 

Lt. Colonel James LaBossiere
