 Youth and Family Ministries Sherrin Melcher |
Sherrin Melcher joined the church staff on April 1st 2008. We didn't
have to look to far for her as she has been volunteering at Wiley
Heights Covenant since becoming a member in 2001. Over the years Sherrin
has taught Sunday school, helped at youth group, and served in many
areas of church government. Sherrin's vision of ministry is to work with the parents of our congregation to develop programs to meet the needs of their children and that fit into their busy schedules. Working closely with the Christian Education Board, she hopes to continue to build relationships within the church family, plan socials, and activities to include the entire church body. Sherrin likes to build relationships with new people who visit our church. If you would like to contact Sherrin or would like more information on our youth and family ministries, please call our church office at 966-2383. |

Anne McEwen says she's blessed every day to be a part of Wiley Heights. It astounds me that I am in this wonderful spot at the church, which is a constant, changing challenge to me. I truly appreciate your patient, generous, forgiving hearts. The beauty of who Christ is in His people is always on display when one of His enters my office. On the other hand, the opportunity to witness and share His love is such a gift. Thank you, everyone. |
