Design for Life (DFL) is a weekend retreat run by the Candidates Unit to help you discover God's design for your life. Over the weekend you’ll be encouraged to reflect on where you’ve been, look at where you are now and listen to God about the future.
The September 2026 is fully booked! But you can book for 2027 dates at https://www.ticketsource.com/candidates-unit-the-salvation-army
And DFL 2027 is coming to Scotland and the North East of England too! Don't miss out!

The Candidates Unit had the pleasure of hosting the 'rescued' session today. A really good day of worshipping God, team building, and thanking God for his creation!

We're joining in praying for all those young people and young adults who will be attending Summer Camps this summer. We know that these can be significant weeks of transformation, hearing God's voice and decision made.
Come Lord Jesus, we pray!

Congratulations Vicki🥳
Vicki is a Territorial Envoy in the South East Division, and has responded to the call of God in entering the covenant relationship of Officership.
As Vicki continues to step into all that God leads her to, we ask that you cover her and the other candidates in prayer—praying for strength, peace, and joy.
🙏 Does Vicki’s YES inspire you?
If you’re feeling the nudge toward officership or territorial envoyship, we’d love to talk with you. Reach out to us at [email protected] or speak with your corps officer.

Today is the day CU say a farewell to Berri, who has served in the unit for 2 years as the Territorial Candidates officer. Berri has been brilliant and a fabulous blessing to the team and also to those she journeys with. She will be missed and we pray for her and Callum and their family as they take up their new appointment at Liverpool Walton Corps as corps officers.

Congratulation Nick!

We're thankful to God for Nick and his journey with God and his willingness to say 'yes' to this next step.

We've nearly shared a short testimony from all the accepted candidates (just one more to go tomorrow!).

What's your next yes to God?

How are you responding to the call of God?

We’re getting ready to cheer on this group of cadets who will be ordained and commissioned as Salvation Army officers today. Let’s pray for them as they make a commitment to serve God as Christian leaders within our church and charity.

🎉 Congratulations Samuel! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that Samuel has said YES to God’s call on his life and has been accepted as a candidate for officership in The Salvation Army! 🙌

Later this year, Samuel will begin training at William Booth College as a distant learner, stepping boldly into the next chapter of his journey with Christ.

As Samuel and the other candidates prepare to embrace the fullness of life as cadets, we invite you to join us in covering them in prayer—for courage, strength, and joy in the journey ahead.

🕊️ God is still calling people to become officers and territorial envoys in The Salvation Army.

💭 Is God calling you?
Will you say YES to the call?
