Welcome to Lieutenant Aurelia Pettit
A word from our new corps officers:
I am coming straight from The College for Officer Training. I am the first single woman to be commissioned into the Goshen Corps and the first Lieutenant to begin officership in Goshen. I am looking forward to this time and I know the Lord has placed me here, however, there will be learning challenges all around. I am ready to embrace these challenges and embrace Indiana. I am looking forward to getting to know the Goshen community and loving those around this area.
From the moment I stepped into my home corps in Big Rapids, Michigan, it felt like home. I first entered The Salvation Army because I was invited to play in the band. Music is very important to me, and I hope to be able to expound on the musical talents of those within the Goshen Corps. The Salvation Army has always felt like a family and my calling and desire to become an officer grew from a longing to bring that family to those around me. I am motivated by the love God has shown me, to bring that love to others in a way that makes them feel at home when they enter The Salvation Army.
I am excited to serve and love here in Goshen where the Lord has placed me.
