We’re thankful for God’s continued guidance as we strengthen the leadership of CFS to meet both the clinical and spiritual needs of those we serve.

As part of this process, our Board of Directors has determined that a called pastor will serve as President of CFS, providing spiritual leadership and overseeing our faith integration efforts across our ministry.

The President will partner with Dr. Ashley Schoof, Chief Operating Officer, who oversees day-to-day operations of our mental health services. Together, they will lead a dedicated team working to deliver Gospel-centered healing to individuals and families in need.

We’re grateful for your continued prayers and support as we move forward in our ministry and call a pastor to fill our President position.
