Dr. Eppy Thern

As one of the founders, Eppy has been involved with Shiloh Place from the beginning. Having once been a single mom, she knew first hand the challenges many of these moms face.  It was this experience and where she felt God’s calling, that lead her to working with Bob and Kelley Burgess, and eventually the birth of Shiloh Place.

Kelley Burgess

Her years spent as a foster parent and serving as a client advocate at a local pregnancy center led to much prayer and research on how best to serve single mothers. The process of having a vision become reality and seeing the moms flourish has been one of the highlights of her life.
