Today, with full hearts, we announce a new season for two people who have given so much of their lives to the mission of transformation through Jesus Christ.
After 23 faithful years serving with Teen Challenge Southeast Region, Pastor Scott and Miss Andrea are transitioning from their roles as Directors of Teen Challenge Dixon Men & Women Centers into a new calling as Executive Directors of Adult Programs for the Southeast Region.
Since becoming directors in 2015, they have poured themselves endlessly into this ministry, but their story started long before that. They once walked through the doors of Teen Challenge as students themselves — broken, searching, and in need of the same hope they would later spend decades giving to others. Through God’s grace, obedience, and unwavering faithfulness, they rose from students, to staff, to directors, and now into regional leadership. Their lives are a living testimony that Jesus truly restores, redeems, and calls people into purpose.
It is impossible to fully measure the impact Pastor Scott and Miss Andrea have had over the years. Thousands of lives have been touched because they said “yes” to God. Men and women found freedom from addiction. Families were restored. Sons and daughters came home. Marriages were rebuilt. Students encountered the presence of God in life-changing ways because these two leaders faithfully carried the burden of ministry year after year.
From the late nights, difficult conversations, prayers over hurting people, celebrating victories, grieving losses, and believing in people when no one else would — they have loved sacrificially and led with compassion, strength, and integrity.
On a personal level, it is hard to put into words what they mean to so many of us. They have not simply been leaders; they have been spiritual parents, mentors, encouragers, and examples of what it looks like to surrender everything to the Lord. Their fingerprints are all over this ministry, and the culture of love, excellence, and discipleship at Dixon exists because of their faithfulness.
While we will deeply miss them in their role here at Dixon, we could not be more excited for this next season. The Southeast Region is gaining two leaders who have already proven what God can do through willing hearts. We know they will continue to impact countless more lives in this new assignment.
Pastor Scott and Miss Andrea — thank you for every prayer prayed, every sacrifice made, every life fought for, and every person loved along the way. Thank you for showing us what faithful ministry looks like. We honor you today and celebrate all that God has done through your lives.
Please join us in praying for them and congratulating them as they step into this incredible new chapter. We love you both deeply and are believing the very best is still ahead.
