CHERILYN HORNING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR

My name is Cherilyn, and I live and work in the Avondale neighborhood. I am thankful to have called this neighborhood home since 2003, where my husband Jason and I have raised our two daughters. The opportunity to join the South Meridian team in 2021 has been a joy to me, as I have been able to intentionally connect with the neighborhood and the congregation in new ways. Our community is full of gifted and unique people, and I am really grateful to be able to get to be a friend and neighbor to so many of them. I have spent 20 years serving in the non-profit sector of Madison County, and love to find ways to connect people and organizations to each other for mutual benefit. Life can be challenging for most of us, and I believe God did not create us to be alone; I am honored to help build community in and with this neighborhood with relational connection as the foundation. I love coffee and a good conversation – connect with me for either or both of those!
