The team at CFB offers a word of thanks to Ryan Pemberton for joining our work here at the Center for Faithful Business. Ryan has accepted a new role as Director of Community Cultivation at Image Journal. Ryan shared this about his new role:

The director of community cultivation (DCC) brings significant organizational and programming capacity to Image and is responsible for identification and implementation of opportunities to cultivate and serve the Image community, including contributors, readers, program participants, and donors. The DCC is instrumental in execution of programs, deepens Image’s knowledge and pursuit of potential partners, and aids in the development of new initiatives. The director of community cultivation will play a vital role in shaping the direction of Image’s future while working collaboratively with Image staff and leadership.

Ryan, we are grateful for your work in our midst. During your tenure here you have contributed significantly to CFB and the work we are doing in numerous ways! From your warm smile, to your kind words, we appreciate your gifts, and we are grateful that you chose to ‘cast your lot’ with us for the time you were here! We agree with Rebecca Spralin, a 2023 Pollard Scholar, who wrote “… this new opportunity sounds like a great fit given your communications skills and interests in the intersection of faith and culture.”

From the whole team at SBGE/CFB and the larger SPU community, we wish you every blessing in this new chapter. We know that you will serve the important Kingdom building work that Image Journal catalyzes with great integrity.
