It’s a bittersweet day as Family Promise of Bell County begins its search for the next Executive Director as Rucker Preston prepares to step into a new role as the Director of Housing and Community Development for the City of Temple. After five and a half years of dedicated leadership, Rucker leaves behind a remarkable legacy of growth, innovation, and community impact. He strengthened our organization’s mission serving families experiencing homelessness and housing instability, expanded community partnerships, increased organizational capacity, and enhanced the scope of services available to families in Bell County. Specifically, Rucker led us through two capital campaigns without using any public tax dollars and leaves the organization without any debt.

“Everyone at Family Promise is extremely grateful for all that Rucker has accomplished during his tenure as Executive Director. While we're sad to see him go, we're very happy for his continued dedication to serve our community,” said Board President, Dayspring Fowler. “His passion for our mission, his commitment to people, and his vision for stronger communities have helped our community grow in extraordinary ways. As an organization, we're excited about what the future holds, as we continue to serve families facing homelessness while searching for the next Executive Director.”

“It has been one of the highest honors of my career to serve Family Promise of Bell County,” said Preston. “I am deeply grateful for the churches, families, staff, Board of Directors, volunteers, and community partners who make this mission possible every day. Family Promise will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am excited to continue serving our community in this new capacity and role with the City of Temple.”

We invite everyone to say thank you to Rucker for his years of service and leadership during a come and go reception to be held on Tuesday, May 5th from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Family Promise of Bell County.

30 years of Fairway starts with one person’s vision.
 
Steve, thank you.
 
Thank you for building a company where the mission was never just about closing loans. It was about closing the gap between where people are and where they want to be.
 
Your leadership has set the standard for what it looks like to lead with integrity, to put people before profit, and to never lose sight of why we do this work.
 
We are proud to be part of what you built. And we are grateful every day to work for someone who made helping others the foundation of everything.

Even if Texas isn’t a hot, competitive market right now, your lender still matters.
When things heat up again, a strong approval can make or break your offer.

And even today, the right lender behind you adds confidence for everyone involved.

Choosing the right real estate agent isn’t just important… it can make or break your entire homebuying experience. Communication, strategy, and guidance matter more than you think. Make sure you have the right team in your corner.

Consistency matters… especially when you’re making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

Not all lenders communicate the same.
Not all experiences are created equal.

When you choose a lender, you’re choosing someone to guide you, keep you informed, and show up every step of the way.

That’s exactly what I do at Fairway Home Mortgage 🤍

If you’re buying, refinancing, or just have questions… I’m here.
