South Texas Children’s
Home names president, CEO

BEEVILLE—Todd Roberson has been named president and chief executive officer of South Texas Children’s Home, where he has served 15 years in a variety of administrative posts.

Roberson becomes the fifth president of the children’s home, succeeding Jerry Haag, who resigned earlier this year to become president of Florida Baptist Children’s Home.

Roberson has served as interim president of the children’s home since July 1.

He joined the South Texas Children’s Home staff in 1992 as assistant business administrator. He went on to hold two vice presidential posts—first for business administration and later for development—before becoming chief operating officer.

Roberson’s history at the agency offered the board of directors ample opportunity to get to know him, said Chairman John Weber.

“We have had an opportunity to observe the quality of his work, and his dedication to children, to the Lord, and to the South Texas Children’s Home,” Weber said, noting the board unanimously elected Roberson.

As Roberson takes the helm of South Texas Children’s Home, he said he wants to continue its legacy of reaching hurting children and families in Christ’s name.

“We must treasure our heritage, celebrate today and focus on tomorrow,” Roberson said. “We must always be sensitive to where the Lord is leading us to minister. And by following the Lord’s direction, we can effectively help those in need and provide others with an opportunity to serve their fellow man.”

Roberson is a member of First Baptist Church in Beeville where he is a high school Sunday school teacher, deacon, trustee and serves on various committees.

He is a graduate of Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He and his wife, Jill, have two children—Lindsey Brooke and Parker Ross.
