Major Heather Jenkins

Heather has been an Officer for over 30 years, most of which have been as a Corps Officer. Her most recent appointment was Corps Officer (Team Leader) of Camberwell Corps, Victoria. A variety of other roles in Social programs and Divisional and Territorial ministries, have given a breadth of knowledge and experience of Salvation Army ministry and service.
Coming from a nursing background, caring for others has always been Heather’s heart. This set the foundation for a ministry of care and the desire to journey with others toward wholeness in Christ. Her own seeking and this desire led her into postgraduate studies in Spiritual Direction.
Heather has loved being engaged with Cadets on Corps placement and feels privileged to work more closely with them as she joins the Officer Formation team at EBC.
