In the presence of Baptist Children’s Homes (BCH) leadership, trustees and peers, several staff members were recognized as 2019 “Employees of the Year” for their outstanding service.

The ceremony took place on April 23 at Mills Home in Thomasville. Recipients are voted on by their peers.

2019 Honorees

Sissy Britt is an office professional with Special Ministries administration in Thomasville. She tackles responsibilities which keep the Developmental Disabilities Ministries operating at the highest level.

“The DDM residents are welcoming and always remember your name,” she shared. “Working at BCH isn’t a ‘have’ to but a ‘get’ to.”

Matt and Jessie Chilson are child care workers at Kennedy Home in Kinston. They cared for children through two separate hurricanes and are matchless when it comes to child care work.
