Meet the Servants Center Board of Directors
Chuck Hahn (President) and his wife Judy moved to Grand Rapids from Midland, Michigan in 2007 upon his retirement from the position of Chief Tax Officer of The Dow Chemical Company. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, with degrees in economics, finance and law.
He first became involved with Servants Center as a volunteer, beginning in 2007 and continuing today. In 2010 he became President of the Board. “As a volunteer I get to see everyday the effect Servants Center has on the lives of its clients through housing, medical care, food and help with other needs. I get to know the clients and appreciate how wonderful and fascinating they are, but also see how many difficulties they face but cannot deal with alone. I can see what a difference being treated with dignity and respect makes, and with some I become a trusted friend. What a privilege!”
Chuck is active in other Urban Ministry activities, including heading the Urban Ministry team at Thornapple Evangelical Covenant church from 2007 to 2014. He also has a strong interest in housing, serving for many years as Treasurer and then President of Midland Area Homes, a non-profit housing repair agency in Midland.
Deb Borst has been a member of the Servant's Center Board for over 10 years. She is a graduate of Hope College. Deb and her husband, Rev. Richard Borst, served four churches in West Michigan before his death in 2003.
Deb worked for 23 years as Ministry Director at The Other Way Ministries, a community development organization on Grand Rapids' Westside. During her tenure at The Other Way, God enlarged her heart for the city and deepened her compassion for those who face the greatest challenges with the fewest resources. She is honored to be a part of supporting and championing the unique and vital mission of Servant's Center alongside their committed staff.
Recently retired, Deb is a member of Madison Square Church where she serves as a pastoral care elder. She also acts as an advocate and is studying to become a spiritual director. Deb has two adult children and one grandson.

Dustin graduated from the Seidman School of Business at Grand Valley State University in 2008. Currently Dustin is an accountant at Herman Miller Inc., a global leader in furniture design and a major part of the West Michigan economy.
"What drew me to the Servants Center was the mission. Jesus spoke about helping the poor on a regular basis - so much that it is impossible to ignore. And to give and help with humility, and without pride. Servant Center is doing exactly that! Since I have a hard time carrying that out in practice (like many people), by joining the board I have been able to be a part of that mission."
