Cheryl is married to Ken and lives in Dunedin. They have 4 adult children and two grandchildren. She brings together her experience as a primary school teacher, and wife of a Presbyterian minister, to this exciting role of Kids Friendly Advisor. This is a fulltime position paid by Synod as part of the national Kids Friendly team. Cheryl loves to see all ages participating in and enjoying Sunday worship and she is keen to encourage churches to explore new ways of sharing the Good News of Jesus with community children and families.
She is available to assist, encourage and resource churches as they intentionally minister to children and families- on Sundays and during the week, regularly or occasionally. If you have a children’s ministry make sure your church is part of the Kids Friendly network where you can get up to date information on resources and training opportunities. If you would like to reach out to more children and families in your community then contact Cheryl for ideas and support.
