In the days of constant change, The Salvation Army continues to meet human needs in the name of Christ without discrimination. Whether it’s providing shelter and food for individuals experiencing homelessness, visiting the veteran’s hospital, investing in the futures of children, or providing Christmas gifts and coats for families in need – we want people to know they are not alone and be able to experience God’s love and the Army’s support through our many service channels. We are committed to “Doing The Most Good” in RVA and invite the community to join us. We are “Better Together,” and together we can change the future for individuals in need. 

– Captains Jason and Bethany Burns

Captains Jason and Bethany Burns are in their 15th year of service with The Salvation Army and were commissioned in 2008 as part of the God’s Fellow Workers session. Their first appointment was in Memphis, TN as Corps Officers and Kroc Administrators followed by Danville, KY as Corps Officers. They served overseas in Lisbon, Portugal as Regional Officers, Charleston, SC as Corps Officers, and currently serve as Area Commanders in Richmond, VA.

In addition to The Salvation Army School for Officers Training, Captain Bethany Burns holds a Bachelor of Physical Education from The University of Mobile. Captain Jason Burns holds a Bachelor of Recreation and Leisure Management from Oklahoma Baptist University and a Master of Religion from Trevecca Nazarene University.

The Burns have three wonderful children who have grown up in the Army and experienced first-hand the power of serving the community and witnessing the outcome of “Doing The Most Good.” Conner received his Lineman Certification and is enjoying his first career employment; Abigail is studying Music and Worship Arts at Liberty University; and their youngest Bailey lives at home with the Burns' newest addition -- their energetic black Labrador, Baker.

Captains Jason and Bethany understand that the life of an Officer is both rewarding and challenging, and they are humbled God has chosen them for the adventures they have experienced and have yet to experience in The Salvation Army.
