Many of you have heard this already, but I want to formally announce that after much thought and prayer, I have made the decision to step down as Executive Director of St. John’s Community Care as I prepare for a new opportunity in the St. Louis area.
It has been an incredible honor to serve alongside such dedicated staff, volunteers, and caregivers, and to witness the life-changing work that happens every day through St. John’s programs. Together, we’ve celebrated 40 years of service, expanded our reach, and built lasting connections with families who count on us for care and hope.
While I’m excited for what’s ahead, I will always carry the spirit of St. John’s with me — a place where compassion shines and God’s hand is clearly at work. I’m confident the organization’s next chapter will bring even greater impact.
My position is not yet posted, but will be soon. My last full-time day is October 31, but I will remain part-time until a new Executive Director is hire. I will respond to emails and phone calls in the evenings and weekends!
Thank you for your support, encouragement, and partnership over the years. 💙
— Christine Thurber
