Special Edition | Thornwell Life 150 Years of Impact

Celebrate 150 Years of Ministry in the Latest Edition of Thornwell Life

This special edition of Thornwell Life marks 150 years of faithful ministry, celebrating Dr. Rev. William Plumer Jacobs’ vision to create a nurturing home for children in need. This single act of compassion has become a multifaceted ministry, now dedicated to supporting and equipping children and families across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

In this milestone issue, you’ll meet Keisha and her daughters through Tools, Traditions, and Time | The Gift of Stronger Families, and discover how Thornwell’s Strengthening Families Program helped them reconnect and build new traditions rooted in love and understanding. You’ll walk alongside Hannah, a student in Thornwell’s Transitional Living Program, whose courage and perseverance led her from campus life to a Jacobs Scholar full scholarship at Presbyterian College. And you’ll be inspired by Chance, a proud Thornwell alumnus whose story, Finding Family through Faith and Love, reminds us of the lifelong impact of care, consistency, and belonging.

Flip through to witness the transformative power of this legacy in motion!
