Meet Sherry Shepherd

Communications Coordinator

Hi y’all! I was born in New York but raised in Texas. I remember sitting in class in the sixth grade, hearing about evolution, and trying to understand how that fits into the creation story. I went home and began asking my mom questions, and she explained the Gospel to me and led me to the Lord. 

From that time on, God has had His hand on my life.  I believe everyone has a story, and God has allowed suffering to be a part of mine. From divorce to multiple spine surgeries and walking through Alzheimer's with my mom, each season has refined me and given me empathy and understanding for those who are going through difficulties, grief, and hardship. 

For the last twenty years, I have served as a writer, editor and marketing specialist in the non-profit arena, working alongside some of the most amazing people doing incredible things for Jesus—from pro-life work to sharing Jesus worldwide. My heart for people and writing their stories is what makes me most excited to be a part of the work in our city with the CDC. 

I have three amazing, grown children, each married to incredible people. In addition, I have three precious grandchildren I travel to see as often as possible. Nothing makes me happier than having all these people together at once! In my free time, I enjoy painting, traveling, cooking, and playing with my little dog, Indi.
