Majors Mark and Lorie Hunter

Louisville Area Commanders

Introduction to The Salvation Army

Lorie Hunter was introduced to The Salvation Army as a child when she attended the girls’ Youth Character Building program “Sunbeams.” Once married, she introduced her husband, Mark Hunter, to The Salvation Army.

The Hunter family began attending the Gastonia Salvation Army Corps in 1994, where Mark and Lorie became soldiers (church members) in 1997. Before long, the Hunters began serving there as Sunday school teachers and youth leaders.

Salvation Army Experience

Mark and Lorie entered The Salvation Army’s College for Officers training in August 2005 and were commissioned as captains in June 2007, receiving their first appointment as corps officers of the Irmo, South Carolina, Salvation Army Corps.

The Hunters held several appointments as corps officers, including the Smithfield Salvation Army Corps; the Rocky Mount Salvation Army Corps; and the Greenville Kroc Center as congregational life officers. 

In 2013, the Hunters were appointed to their home corps in Gastonia, North Carolina, where they served as corps officers for four years. During their decade as corps officers, Captains Hunter were responsible for oversight of the following programs: Emergency Sheltering, Emergency Assistance, Senior Citizen Independent Housing, Family Thrift Stores, Emergency Disaster Response, Kroc Center Operations and Boys and Girls Clubs, along with the spiritual care of the corps and its related programs. 

In 2017, Captains Hunter received divisional appointments in the Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi (ALM) Division.

Captain Lorie Hunter was appointed divisional community care ministry secretary and assistant women’s ministry secretary, where she was responsible for numerous divisional programs. Captain Mark Hunter was appointed divisional finance trainee, where he received extensive training in divisional finance, budgeting and auditing. 

In 2019, Captain Lorie Hunter was appointed divisional secretary for programs and Captain Mark Hunter was appointed divisional secretary for business.

The Hunters were both promoted to Majors in 2022 after 15 years of service in The Salvation Army.

Other Related Experience

Before attending The Salvation Army College for Officer Training, Captains Hunter received training and work experience in several occupational fields. Captain Lorie Hunter spent several years in customer service and Captain Mark Hunter worked as a residential and commercial construction subcontractor.

Captains Hunter have a love for people and ministry. The couple strives to be a positive influence and example to others. The Hunters love The Salvation Army for many reasons, but mostly because of its global spiritual and humanitarian work.

Family

The Hunters have three children – two of which are grown. Their youngest child will be a senior in high school this fall. Captains Hunter also have three grandchildren, with another on the way. They love spending time with family, outdoor activities and crafting.
