Meet the Captians of the Adult Rehabilitation Center

Captains Steve and Daylene Staneart Are Back at The Salvation Army ARC

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF. -- Salvation Army Captains Steve and Daylene Staneart are thrilled to be back in San Bernardino after a five-year absence. Captains Staneart served in San Bernardino in 2020, serving in the same role as Administrators of The Salvation Army’s San Bernardino Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC).

“We get a front row seat as God takes a man who has lost all to his addiction. We get to see as his brain clears from the fog and he can think again, then as his heart clears and he can love again. There is nothing quite like giving a father back to his children or a son back to his mother who had lost all hope.” Captain Steve said.

The Salvation Army operates the largest and most successful network of Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) in the nation. For over 100 years, The Salvation Army has provided spiritual, emotional, and social assistance to individuals who have struggled to cope with life's challenges.

The Salvation Army's 80+ ARCs are primarily funded by the sale of donated goods in thrift stores. Each year,thousands of ARC graduates transform their lives, reunite with families, and bring hope to communities across the country. Services are offered on a charitable basis, generally at no cost, and without the need for insurance.

The Staneart’s have been with The Salvation Army since 1998, serving in such diverse places as Montana, Utah, Idaho, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and, of course, San Bernardino. They have run churches, food banks, housing programs, daycares, meal programs, and a host of other ministries in The Salvation Army.

In addition, they have worked for medical nonprofits, Habitat for Humanity, various churches, and even Campus Crusade for Christ, beginning their vocational ministry right here at the old Campus Crusade Headquarters at Arrowhead.

Of all the ministries they have led, their absolute favorite is The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) said Captain Steve.

The Stanearts’ grew up in Oregon, moving to California for the first time when Captain Steve joined the Navy in 1984. They have been married for 41 years, have three grown daughters and eight grandchildren.

When not at the ARC, Captain Steve enjoys hiking and playing piano. Captain Daylene reads, crochets, and designs tiny houses. Together they enjoy live theatre and traveling.

Captain Daylene added, “The Salvation Army Thrift Stores across the West have a consistent goal, as the stores help fund Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs), which provide housing, life skills training, and support for adults seeking a fresh start.”
