Board of Directors Announcement on Staff Changes
February 2023
For many years Pathways has been guided by our three co-directors: Linda Thomas, Julie Stegelmann, and Evan Miller. In 2020 Janell Stoltzfus was employed as administrative assistant on a marginal basis.
At the request of the co-directors, It is now time for a change. The seeds for this change are written into the 2022 strategic plan. The three co-directors will be relinquishing much of the administrative work into Janell’s capable hands so that they will have more time for family and/or other ministry possibilities. This shift is exciting for them and also for Pathways as they broaden their ministry outreach.
Linda Thomas is now the Director, Ministry Coordinator, & Prayer Coordinator. Janell Stoltzfus is the Administrator, co-Land Steward, and Volunteer Coordinator; Steve Thomas is co-Land Steward, and Evan Miller is Project Specialist.
The Board envisions these changes as enhancing our purpose of rest, reflection, and renewal.
