Captains Herb and JoAnn Frazier are in their 14th year as Salvation Army officers. The Frazier’s celebrate their 20th year of marriage this month. They have three beautiful daughters: 16, 8 and 5; and their first son is expected to be born this August. The Frazier’s took command of The Tallahassee Salvation Army Corps on June 20 and have hit the ground running ever since.

They have faithfully served in four other Commands prior to Tallahassee: Vicksburg, Mississippi; and Kissimmee, Hernando County and Pensacola.

Capt. JoAnn is a native Texan who was born and raised in San Antonio. Captain Herb was born in Texas, but being the son of a Marine, has lived all over the U.S. including Hawaii. However, most of his adolescent years were spent in nearby Albany, Georgia, which he considers his hometown.

When Capt. Herb was 19, he ventured out to Texas to become more involved with the Salvation Army’s mission. There he met his wife JoAnn who was already attending The Salvation Army church and had a mutual calling on her life for full time ministry. It was a match made in heaven.

In 2007, they were accepted into The Salvation Army School for Officers Training and were both commissioned and ordained in 2009.

The Frazier’s share a deep love for God and have an amazing passion for people. The Frazier family are in love with Tallahassee and feel like they are at home.

”I am really excited about working with our volunteers and reaching out to the community as we prepare for Hurricane Season and our Christmas Programs funded by the Red Kettle fund raising,” Capt. Herb Frazier said.

Capt. JoAnn elaborated, “I am amazed how dynamic our Social Services Program is and how many people we help every week with utilities, rent and food. We are truly blessed by the financial support we receive from the community.”

It is here that they will continue to live by the motto “Heart to God, hand to man.”

Their goal is to continue the legacy of The Salvation Army of “Doing The Most Good” in the Leon, Wakulla and Gadsden Counties with the contributions of money, time and resources that the community provides.
