A New Chapter at SpringHill: Welcoming Our Next President
From Camper to President: Introducing Molly Ramseyer
A lifelong camper, leader, and visionary—Molly steps into the next chapter of SpringHill’s mission to impact young lives for Christ.
The SpringHill Board of Directors is pleased to announce Molly Ramseyer’s appointment as the next President of SpringHill, effective February 1, 2025. A passionate leader and faithful steward of SpringHill’s mission, Molly has dedicated over 25 years to shaping life-impacting experiences that enable young people to know Jesus Christ and grow in their faith.
Molly grew up as a camper and summer staff at SpringHill before becoming the Founding Director of Youth for Christ/USA’s Nationwide Camping initiative, impacting thousands of teenagers with the hope of the Gospel. Molly has served in key leadership roles at SpringHill, most recently as Vice President of Ministries and Advancement. In this role, she led innovative program development, deepened community relationships, and strengthened the ministry’s impact on campers, families, and staff. Her love for SpringHill and strategic vision uniquely equip her to lead the ministry into its next season.
That’s me on the far left…yep, the one with the tube socks to my knees! Never could I have imagined as a 8-year old tee-pee girl that SpringHill would become such a big part of my life story! – Molly Ramseyer
SpringHill conducted a thorough national search for its next President, partnering with a national search firm to identify top candidates. After reviewing a highly competitive pool of applicants, it became clear that the Lord was leading us to someone from our own SpringHill family whose life and leadership have been dedicated to serving young people through the love of Jesus Christ. Molly’s appointment was unanimous, as her experience, passion, and vision align seamlessly with SpringHill’s mission.
“I’m excited to celebrate the appointment of Molly Ramseyer as our next President. Molly’s deep-rooted faith, proven leadership, and passion for transforming lives at SpringHill uniquely position her to lead SpringHill into an exciting new chapter. Her ability to cast vision, develop high-performing teams, and inspire others to join in our mission embodies the very heart of SpringHill. We are confident that SpringHill will continue to be a place where kids and families encounter the life-changing power of Jesus Christ under her leadership.” Scott Whitlock, SpringHill Board of Directors Chair.
Honoring Michael Perry’s Legacy
Molly follows in the footsteps of Michael Perry, who has faithfully led SpringHill as President for 24 years, profoundly impacting the ministry. Under his leadership, SpringHill expanded its reach, strengthened its mission, and continued to provide life-changing experiences for young people. The Board deeply thanks Michael for his years of service and dedication.
Molly’s Vision for SpringHill
As President, Molly will passionately focus on deepening SpringHill’s impact, wisely stewarding resources, and uplifting the experiences of both campers and donors. Her leadership will be deeply anchored in SpringHill’s core values: Adventurous Faith, Relational Focus, Contagious Joy, and Holy Discontent—ensuring that every child who arrives at SpringHill encounters the transformative love of Christ.
Molly and her husband, Dave, have been married for 18 years and have a 13-year-old son, Isaac. Their family shares a deep love for SpringHill and is excited for this new season of ministry and leadership.
“After spending my entire career in camping ministry, I realized how fitting it was to return to the camp, which helped form my spiritual identity growing up. God has used SpringHill for over 50 years to grow His Kingdom, and I am excited to build on this legacy of faith by impacting the next generation of young leaders through SpringHill experiences. What a dream come true to have the honor and privilege to steward this ministry into a bold and exciting new future.” — Molly Ramseyer
