July 1, 2020 Louisville, KY. On June 29th, The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board and staff welcomed the arrival of Captains Jimmy and Lacy Parrish as Area Commanders of The Salvation Army in Louisville.
“To say we are thrilled to have the Parrishs take the helm at The Salvation Army is an understatement,” said Advisory Board Chair Andrea Scholtz. “The Parrishs bring an energetic and friendly vibe that is similar to that of their predecessors. It is clear they are progressive and ready to help us continue to move forward, and we are ready and excited to continue this journey with them.”
Prior to arriving in Louisville, the Parrishs led local Salvation Army units in Conroe, TX, Texarkana, TX, and the Kroc Center in Kerrville, TX, and also supervised programming for art, music, and spiritual development of Youth & Young Adults for The Salvation Army North and South Carolina Division.
Both Jimmy and Lacy Parrish are passionate about their faith in Jesus Christ and thier commitment to improving lives with the mission of the Salvation Army.
“Ultimately, our work is to continue providing excellent and innovative community programming and ensuring that The Salvation Army in Louisville increases its capacity to serve people at their point of need,” Captain Jimmy Parrish remarked at a recent meeting. “Together with our loyal community partners – and our ‘army of supporters’ who offer their time, talents, and treasures – we will persist in building reliable and sustainable bridges up and out of poverty.”
The Parrishs follow Majors Roy and Kathy Williams (recently assigned as Miami-Dade Florida Area Commanders,) and have been with The Salvation Army for going on 12 years; this is their 5th appointment as officers.
Captains Jimmy and Lacy Parrish will be making rounds in the coming weeks to become acquainted with the Louisville area and to meet as many community leaders and friends of The Salvation Army as possible.
