KEIGHLEY Salvation Army leaders Ben and Rebecka Cotterill are moving on.
The lieutenants are taking-up an appointment in London with the church's international projects team.
A farewell service will be held at the High Street church on Sunday (June 30), at 2.30pm.
Ben said: "We have had a wonderful five years leading the Salvation Army in Keighley.
"There is now a vibrant congregation, with people of all ages and from every background.
"It's also been a privilege to serve people in our town through the foodbank and respond to supporting those seeking asylum.
"We’ve seen many lives transformed and we have been able to care and support for those in difficult times."
He added that he and Rebecka were "excited" about the opportunities which lay ahead for them in London.
The new Keighley leaders will be captains Josh Selfe and Dafne de Castro e Lemos.
In addition to Sunday church services, Keighley Salvation Army runs an under-fives group, a youth church, the foodbank and community meals, plus there is a charity shop and onsite cafe.
And every Christmas it stages a campaign to ensure all children receive a present.
