Cherie Finkey
Children’s Ministry Coordinator
 
 
My name is Cherie Finkey, I have served as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator since fall of 2019.  Prior to that, I was the chairperson of the Children and Youth Commission since January of 2000. I recently celebrated my 50th wedding anniversary to my husband, Steve. We have three children, two daughters and one son, and four grandchildren, two girls and two boys.  We also have Jake, our chocolate lab.  In my free time, I enjoy crafting, especially sewing and cross stitching.  I also enjoy baking, cooking, and gardening.  I became a Christian at the age of 12 through an altar call, here at Prince Street, through Bishop C. Ray Miller. I have attended Prince Street since birth many years ago! I have had a love for children for as long as I can remember.  I taught my first Bible School class at the age of 14 and Sunday School at the age of 20.  I have previously worked for the Shippensburg School District as an aid, Head Start as an aid, and a local daycare as a preschool teacher and school-age leader.  My deepest desire is to see children accept Christ as their savior.  I have taken Children’s Ministry classes online through Group Publishing, as well as many other workshops throughout my career.
