COLONEL FLOYD TIDD

Floyd and Tracey Tidd were both born and raised in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, where they began their journey in Christian faith and with The Salvation Army as children in Sunday school. After high school, Floyd pursued a career in medicine, which resulted in a bachelor’s degree in science. Accepting God’s call to officership, they entered the College for Officer Training in Toronto in 1984. A sense of the privilege of being partners in the gospel (see Philippians 1:3-5) was instilled in those years of training. Floyd has also received a master’s degree in theological studies from Toronto’s Tyndale Seminary and is a graduate of the Arrow Executive Leadership program.

Since their commissioning, the Tidds have ministered in a variety of appointments as associate officers, church planters, divisional youth leaders, rural and city corps officers, as well as in administrative assignments at the territorial level in the areas of youth and children’s ministries and corps ministries. Tracey was also a chaplain at Broadview Village, a facility for adults with developmental disabilities.

Prior to becoming Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women’s Ministries for Canada and Bermuda, Floyd and Tracey served as divisional leaders for the Ontario Central-East Division.
