Cheryl came to Winn’s Baptist Church in August of 2003.  She and her husband, Jeff, who serves as Senior Associate Pastor at Winn’s, moved here after living in Houston, Texas for two years.  Prior to that, they were members at Grove Avenue Baptist Church, in Richmond, Va., where she served as Children’s Director for over 6 years. The Chadwicks have two sons- Jeffrey and Keith, a daughter in law, Sarah and a granddaughter Adeline.

Cheryl has also worked as a Special Education teacher, instructing students of all ages with mental, physical, and emotional challenges.  Although working with special needs children has been very rewarding, Cheryl’s true desire is to answer God’s call to minister to children with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Ever since she was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade at the age of 10, Cheryl has had a heart-felt burden to share the gospel with other children and to disciple them.

Recognizing the extreme value of children to the Lord, and realizing the huge responsibility we have as a church for these precious little ones that God has entrusted to us, the following mission statement has been adopted for the Elementary Children’s Department:

“Our mission is to bring children into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, teaching them to know Him as Savior and Lord; and to love Him and obey His Word.”

To accomplish this huge mission in our present-day world takes much prayer and guidance from our Heavenly Father and also a partnership with the families of our children.  All of the programs in our department, such as Sunday School, Children’s Church, AWANA, WOW (summertime Winn’s on Wednesdays), Terrific Tuesdays, Vacation Bible School, the Fall Festival, the Easter Egg Hunt, the Family Christmas Breakfast, etc. are prayerfully planned to provide a well-balanced Children’s Ministry Department.

Understanding the importance of ministering to children, Cheryl feels very blessed and dependent on the Lord to serve in this area at Winn’s Baptist Church.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”  (Philippians 4 :13)
