John Churchill serves as Senior Director of Marketing and Communications. He helps tell the story of Catholic Charities Dallas as we spread our mission of addressing the root causes of poverty, homelessness, and injustice. His team’s goal is to enhance the visibility and reputation of CCD — as well as our missions, employees, volunteers, and clients — using traditional media outreach, web content, video, photography, and social media storytelling.
After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Texas A&M University, John began his career as a newspaper reporter in Northeast Texas. Since that time, he has worked in both the corporate and nonprofit worlds leading communications and marketing efforts at a range of DFW-area organizations, including Southwest Airlines, Alcon Laboratories, and Charles Schwab. He also spent nearly a decade managing communications at the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America in Irving, helping one of the nation’s oldest and largest youth-serving organizations navigate significant change and growth.
