The Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan Welcomes New Divisional Leaders
Officers will begin appointments on June 28
WAUWATOSA, WI — The Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (WUM) will welcome new leaders at its divisional headquarters in Wauwatosa on June 28.
Major Trevor McClintock will become the Divisional Commander for WUM. His wife, Major Rochelle McClintock, will become the Divisional Leader for Officer Development. They will take over for Majors Steve and Christine Merritt, who were divisional leaders in WUM for seven years.
The Salvation Army often moves officers to different locations every three to five years to bring new perspectives into a community.
For the past 22 years, Majors Trevor and Rochelle (Shelley) McClintock have served as Salvation Army officers. They spent eight years as corps officers in Marquette, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, within the Wisconsin and Upper Michigan Division. They have also served in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Omaha, Nebraska, and most recently in Quincy, Illinois, where they held leadership roles as Senior Kroc Officers and Area Command Leaders. Shelley holds a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education from Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota and Trevor earned a degree in Leadership and Ethics from Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The WUM division will also welcome Major Beverly Gates, who will be the Divisional Secretary for the Milwaukee Area Command, as well as Lieutenants Henry & Pamela Boateng, who will be the new Divisional Youth & Candidates' Secretaries.
