At Grace United Methodist Church, leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about service. Each person who leads here does so with a heart for God and a love for people. We believe the church thrives when everyone uses their gifts for the good of the body. Whether teaching, visiting, planning, or praying, our leaders work together to help Grace UMC live out its mission: to be the image of Christ to the world through faithful discipleship and service.
Rev. Cheryl Farr
Cheryl serves as the spiritual leader and shepherd of Grace United Methodist Church. With an undergrad in psychology and a Master of Divinity, she combines biblical insight with compassion and practicality. Her preaching and teaching reflect a deep love for Scripture and a desire to help others experience the transforming grace of God in everyday life. She’s passionate about discipleship, outreach, and helping people see that faith isn’t just something we believe — it’s something we live.
When she’s not preparing sermons or meeting with members, you’ll often find her sewing or quilting, working on her house, or writing devotionals for her website Grace Baby Grace. She loves a good laugh, good coffee, and any opportunity to talk about the love and grace of God.
“My calling is simple: to help people discover that God’s grace is already reaching for them.”
