  • Cultivate is a spiritually enriching, three-day seminar designed to equip and empower women officers and sergeants of The Salvation Army to grow in their preaching ministry.

  • This event is intended for all active women officers and sergeants in the USA Southern Territory—whether you preach weekly, occasionally, or are just beginning to step into the pulpit. If you're wondering if this is for you, it is!

  • Dates: September 10–12, 2025
    Location: Evangeline Booth College – Continuing Education Center, Atlanta, GA

  • The seminar’s theme is inspired by Isaiah 35:1: - “The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a wildflower.”

  • We want you to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to fully engage during our time together. Here’s a quick guide so you’ll know what to pack:

    Wednesday – Registration, Opening Dinner & Keynote
    Dress is business casual. Think neat and put-together without being overly formal. Slacks, skirts, dresses, or nice jeans (clean and without holes) are all welcome. Pair them with a blouse, button-down, or sweater—something that feels professional yet relaxed.

    Thursday – Sessions 1–3
    We’ll be in classroom uniform for these sessions.

    Thursday – Session 4 (Evening)
    You can switch back to business casual—again, that means polished but comfortable.

    Friday – All Sessions
    We’ll be in classroom uniform for the day.
