TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — For the last 18 months, Captain Kristy and Major Brent Church have been at the helm of the Salvation Army in Amphi. But by the end of June, they will move lead the Salvation Army in Sierra Vista.
They've grown the community in Amphi and they said the after-school program has grown substantially, by about 150%. Over the last year, they've put in a splash pad, and expanded the kids and young adult programs.
"We grew from about four kids on a regular basis to about 30 to 45 kids," Brent said.
Brent said they're ready to take on the new chapter in Sierra Vista, but will miss the community and work they've done in Amphi.
“The legacy doesn’t stop with us. It continues with the new officers, the kids and the future of what this place can do,” he said.
