Thornwell’s 9th President, Rev. Elliot Smith Retires
August 3, 2021
Thornwell’s 9th President, Rev. Elliot Smith is scheduled to retire on Friday, August 6th.
In his ten years serving as president, Smith’s humble leadership is credited for Thornwell’s growth in three states and the expansion of innovative programs and services including, but not limited to, foster care, in-home family therapy, academic services, and the establishment of Thornwell’s Child Development Center.
“These last 10 years serving in this role have been the most rewarding and fulfilling of my 30+ years in ministry. I attribute this to Thornwell’s partners in ministry who walk alongside us each day to prevent child abuse and neglect, build up and reunite families, and support healthy communities in the name of Jesus Christ. I am truly humbled and forever grateful for the difference they make in the lives of vulnerable children and families.” – Rev. Elliot Smith
