Staff reports
The Salvation Army of the LowCountry Corps has announced Lieutenants Glen and Sarah Andress as its new Corps officers for Hampton, Colleton, Jasper and Beaufort counties.
The Andresses arrive in Beaufort with years of experience in pastoral leadership, social services, and community development through The Salvation Army. Most recently, they served as lay leaders in High Point, N.C., where they led efforts to expand services for youth and bridging families experiencing homelessness, strengthen community partnerships, and grow opportunities for worship and discipleship.
“We are humbled with excitement to begin working alongside the great people in this community,” Lt. Glen Andress said in a news release. “From the moment we arrived, we have felt welcomed by this wonderful community. We look forward to building relationships and serving alongside the dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners who make such an incredible difference in the lives of others every day.”
In their new roles, the Andresses will oversee all aspects of The Salvation Army’s ministry in the LowCountry, including worship services, youth programming, community outreach initiatives, and social service programs. These services include emergency assistance with rent and utilities, food assistance, seasonal programs such as Angel Tree and Christmas assistance, emergency disaster services, and support for individuals and families facing crisis.
“Meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ is at the heart of everything we do,” Lt. Sarah Andress said in a news release. “First and foremost, The Salvation Army is a church. Whether you are looking for assistance, a place to serve, or a church family to worship with, our doors are open and there is a place for you here.”
