CROSSTraining is a prescribed course of study in which Corps Cadets participate.  It is practical training to provide the individual an opportunity to discover and develop potential for effective leadership in The Salvation Army as a soldier or an officer.

The curriculum is a collection of units written by Word Action Publishing and Salvation Army approved writers.  The units include: Bible study, leadership training, and Salvation Army principles and practices.

The CROSSTraining Scope and Sequence is a five year overview of the 10 courses to be completed in the Corps Cadets Curriculum.

Checkpoints:

Ten checkpoint questions are taken from the three lessons within each month.  There is also one reflection question designed to help the corps cadet apply the lesson to their lives.

When the four-week lesson is complete, the Corps Cadet Counselor, the Corps Cadet and the Corps Officer are to sign the monthly report before it is sent to DHQ.

Lessons are to be completed and set to DHQ by the 10th of the following month.

CROSSTraining materials are ordered twice a year through the Divisional Youth Department.  Corps Officers send in their count and the DYS forwards it to THQ.

If you are interested in becoming a corps cadet, please contact your corps officer for more information.

 

 

 

Do you know why Jesus decided to become a human like you and me? One reason was to show us how we can be like him. Yes, he was the one and only Messiah, and you don't get to be. But he was also God's Son, and if you've trusted Christ, you are Jesus' brother or sister, part of the family.

We study Jesus' life on earth in part because he commands us to follow his example. "Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived." That includes the life he lived when he was twelve. And eighteen.
And thirty.
