Beth Andrew, LISW
Executive Director
"God has given me the gift of grace and it is my responsibility to also give this gift to all those I serve."
Beth is proud to be an adopted child and this experience is one of the reasons she entered and has stayed within the field of social work. Beth attributes her strength, honesty and dedication to the consistent love of her parents. She knows she was given a gift when God choose her parents and has counted her blessings her entire life. Beth has been married to her handsome and loving husband for the past 25 years, and they have five fur babies (always looking to add more).
While Beth has spent the majority of her life in rural Iowa, she has taken advantage of multiple opportunities to live, serve and reside in large cities and foreign countries. Beth believes the largest growth takes place within the family and has dedicated her work the past 26 years to serving families through family therapy, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Functional Family Therapy. It is such a joy to witness families find hope within themselves and overcome their obstacles and realize they can be successful and thrive.
Beth feels her role as Executive Director is to support the work of everyone on the team. She knows she cannot do her job without the talents, expertise and dedication of the Family Services/Wolfe Ranch staff. Beth is proud to lead a staff with over 100 years’ combined experience, each one with a focus on providing the highest quality service to every person who seeks our services. This staff has a love and vision to truly Serve as Christ Serves. What a blessing!

Duane Eberly
Family Support Specialist
"I believe change is best implemented through encouragement and hope. I strive to be a family’s cheerleader, telling stories of perseverance and endurance. With hope and encouragement, a family is more likely to persevere, listen to suggestions, take healthy risks and chart their own road to success.
Even though Duane was born in Indiana and lived in San Diego to New York City, he decided to call Iowa his home. He is married to his wife, Tammy, and has four children who live in Iowa. Since he lived on a small farm, towns and cities, Duane understands there are different struggles for individuals and families. Since each person is unique, there needs to be a unique approach.
Duane’s diverse educational experience also enhances his ability to relate to people. He attended a high school of 2,500 students in San Diego and a college of 1,000 students in Virginia. All of his children attended a small school in Manning, Iowa.
His diverse work experience contributes to Duane’s ability to work with a wide range of individuals. Working at Shelters, residential treatment, and substance abuse centers has helped Duane’s ability to relate to families and individual in all walks of life.
