White’s has grown from its founding in 1850 to become one of Indiana’s oldest and largest nonprofit social services agencies serving children, teens and families, with offices around the state, including a residential campus in Wabash..

Stout previously served at Josiah White’s as a clinical supervisor, regional supervisor, and foster care case manager. He most recently served as the outreach and discipleship pastor at Wabash Friends church after returning from spending 10 years in the mission field in Belize. 

“I love the ministry of Josiah White’s,” Stout said. “I have seen and been a part of the ministry from an early age, growing up at Wabash Friends Church and being friends with kids of White’s staff who lived on campus. Seeing how God has uniquely prepared me from my varied experiences working here and time on the mission field connecting people to what God was doing in Belize all just fit. I’m excited to connect people to what God continues to do through and at Josiah White’s!”

Stout holds a bachelor’s in social work from Indiana Wesleyan University and an MSW from Roberts Wesleyan College. He and his wife, Lisa, have a son, Spencer, and a daughter, Andrea.
