Leadership
With the help and support of hundreds of individuals and dozens of churches, businesses and foundations, New Song has built a nurturing community of homes and a school for vulnerable children. The vision and commitment of our leadership is to expand our campus and programs to help more children experience the grace of God and equip them to be successful in life.

Founder and Executive Director
Bob Schloss is the Executive Director of New Song Mission, a campus community for disadvantaged children in Indiana. Bob is a graduate of Indiana University and the IU School of Law, is a licensed attorney, a member of the Indiana State Bar Association, and a former deputy prosecutor. In 1998, Bob became a senior staff member at one of the largest publically funded residential youth campuses in Indiana. It was there that God gave Bob and his wife Lisa the vision for creating a nonprofit Christian children’s home and school for some of Indiana’s most vulnerable children.
Bob and his wife Lisa, who has her master’s degree in social work and is a licensed clinical social worker, moved to Columbus, Indiana to create the ministry of New Song Mission. The campus is built on one of the most scenic settings in all of the Midwest: 100 beautiful acres in the hills of Brown County. By God’s grace and with the help and encouragement of more than 3,000 supportive friends, dozens of churches, and more than 100 businesses, the ministry is now open and serving children in need!
Bob and Lisa fostered six children, raised four sons of their own, and recently enjoyed serving as boys’ houseparents at New Song. Bob enjoys ministering alongside of the other New Song staff members and has a deep appreciation for the leadership and guidance of the New Song board of directors. He seeks to live in the light of the glory of Christ and enjoys family activities, basketball, music, fishing, entrepreneurship, and building relationships with ministry partners.
