Leadership History

Guided by the example of “Fr. Bob,” six presidents have served Saint Francis over the years, leading our growth and expansion of services.

Starting with the founder and first president of Saint Francis, The Rev. Robert Mize Jr., Episcopal priests have lead our ministry, and we have maintained that tradition until recently.

A Board of Directors – comprised of clergy, businesspersons, and community leaders – oversees the ministry of Saint Francis.
