Cheryl Brown

Administration and Hiking, Biking & Liking God Events

Cheryl started attending SunHills in 2004 shortly after moving to El Dorado Hills with her family. Through a series of life experiences, God has repeatedly and faithfully demonstrated His great love, grace and compassion, and Cheryl believes that God let her go through those things so that she can then be a comfort to others (2 Cor 1:3-4). In 2007, she joined the Women’s Ministry team and in the course of her administrative and 'Hiking, Biking & Liking God' responsibilities, she especially enjoys connecting with other women and helping them feel welcomed into our church family. Cheryl enjoys spending time with her three children, outdoor activities, music, fellowship, and God’s beautiful creation.

Cheryl Rouse

Compassion Ministry

Cheryl’s faith journey began as a child watching her father play the organ and her mother sing in the choir in a Cathedral in San Francisco. At age 5, after the death of her father, Cheryl’s family relocated to Sacramento where their church attendance faded into Christmas and Easter. When Cheryl and her husband, Rip began their family they started attending SunHills and it was at an Easter service in 1993 that Cheryl heard the message of Jesus and understood for the first time that God truly loved her and had been in pursuit of her to know Him in every way possible. As she sought to strengthen her faith, she stepped up to teach preschoolers in Sunday School and as her children grew, she moved up to the 4^th and 5^th graders, then took on the commendable task of overseeing SunHills’ Vacation Bible School ministry. She moved on from there to serve in our high school ministry alongside her husband, Rip. Through the high school ministry – Cheryl and her family fell in love with missions. Her first mission trips were with the SunHills youth teams during spring break serving for a week in Mexico. After Rip's passing in 2010, Cheryl took a huge leap of faith to follow God’s prompting and took her children and a team from SunHills on a mission trip to Kenya, Africa. Cheryl is excited to serve in the compassion/missions area and looks forward to sharing those opportunities with others here at SunHills.
