Gateway's Leadership Team
Captains Christopher & Rachel White - Corps Officers
The Salvation Army is led by officers — ordained ministers — who supervise the many programs and services provided in your area. They also serve as administrators, counselors and youth leaders.
Captains Christopher and Rachel White have been the Corps Officers of the St. Louis, Gateway Citadel Corps in the Mighty Midland Division since June 2019. Capt. Christopher was commissioned with the ‘Proclaimers of the Resurrection’ Session in 2013 serving first as the Assistant Corps Officer at the Chicago Temple, IL Corps. Rachel was commissioned in 2014 with the ‘Disciples of the Cross’ session. Before moving to St. Louis they were the Corps Officers of the Jefferson City, MO Salvation Army from 2014-2019. They have two children – Aurelia and Elijah.
Each Salvation Army location is led by a combination of Officers, Advisory Council members (community minded volunteers), Corps Council members (denominational elders) and staff:
Shirley Lawson-Carr - Corps Sergeant Major (head lay leader)
Major Richard Justvig - Assistant Corps Sergeant Major
Lester Stuckmeyer - Advisory Council Chair. For more information about our Advisory Council, follow this link
