Faith+Lead Staffing Transitions
Dr. Dee Stokes has discerned a call to transition from her role as director of the Seeds Project at Luther to pursue new opportunities, including leading an educational program for entrepreneurs in her local North Carolina context. During her time with us, Dee helped to establish and grow the Seed Project to connect, equip, and support dozens of ministry leaders around the country and world who are starting new forms of Christian community. We wish Dee the best in this next season of her ministry. Her last day will be October 31.
Nicholas Gibson will transition from contractor to employee as marketing project manager effective November 1. Nicholas is a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a background in marketing and software development. He has become a valuable team member in the past several months as a contractor and we look forward to his contributions in this new role.
