MAJOR JERRY FRIDAY

MS Gulf Coast Area Commander

Major Jerry Friday comes to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after serving 15 years at The Salvation Army Southern Territorial Headquarters in Atlanta as the Territorial Conference Director and the Territorial Mission and Cultural Ministries Secretary.

Originally from Midland, Texas Jerry graduated from The Salvation Army School for Officers’ Training in 1983 and served for almost 10 years in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Georgia before being assigned to the army’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida, and then Atlanta, Georgia. For almost 10 years Jerry worked for an international event production company and as marketing director for a national software company.

As an event producer, Jerry worked with such artists as Amy Grant, T Graham Brown, Reba McIntyre, Usher, and Gladys Knight, to name a few, and is excited to bring to the coast his experience in special events.

Jerry has been recognized for outstanding volunteerism and community service with numerous community organizations, including Pets Are Loving Support, Big Brothers, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, The Rosalynn Carter Institute, and several local and state scholarship pageants.

Jerry is passionate about mentoring young people and looks forward to the opportunity to work with the staff and volunteers of the Mississippi Gulf Coast building on the tremendous work The Salvation Army has provided here for almost 115 years.

CAPTAINS ZACHARY AND BREANN GOOD

Congregational Life Officers

Captains Zachary and Breann Good come to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after serving several years in Oklahoma. Breann is from a small town in Petoskey, Michigan, and lived there from birth until she was 18 years old. 

Breann graduated from Asbury University with a major in Elementary Education. She then attended the Salvation Army Training College in Atlanta, Georgia to become an officer with the Salvation Army. Breann has worked with youth in many capacities throughout her time with the Salvation Army. She has a passion for teaching kids and shaping the minds of children. 

She enjoys art, taking photos, making memories, and spending time with her family. Breann and Zachary have two children, Alexander and Isabella. Breann's life verse is Proverbs 3:5-6, which says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."

LT. CARLA LAWSON

Pascagoula Corps Officer

Lt. Carla Lawson is a first-generation Salvationist who has a passion for leadership and youth ministry. After graduating High School in Northern Virginia, Carla attended Bridgewater College to pursue a career in Art Education. While there, Carla felt God leading her in another direction—as an officer in The Salvation Army.

After working in Public Safety and on to Youth Ministry, Carla moved to Mississippi to further her ministry with youth as a Christian Education Director with The Salvation Army. Unable to escape God’s calling on her life, Carla was accepted in the Messengers of Compassion session attending The Salvation Army’s Evangeline Booth College in Atlanta, GA. Carla was Commissioned and Ordained in June 2019 and has been appointed by The Salvation Army to Pascagoula, MS as the Corps Officer for her first appointment. Her favorite pastimes include painting, outdoor activities, and learning more about our Creator. Encouraged by the culture and community of Jackson County, Lt. Lawson is thrilled to be a part of all that God is doing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and looks forward to all she can do to preach the gospel and meet human needs in Jackson County.
