Cheri Garrett

Cheri Garrett grew up in the foothills of the

mountains in a small, cotton-mill town in South Car-

olina.

She met Jesus at a young age when

a church reached out to the children of

the town by picking them up in a large,

old, school bus that the church had

painted purple and white. Cheri was one

of the kids that rode that bus, changing

the whole trajectory of her life.

Cheri married her high school

sweetheart, Jim, and entered the life

of “a pastor’s wife” at a young age.

They’ve been married a very long

time, and still, Jim is the love of her

life and her very best friend. Their

legacy is their three children, three children-in-love, and

15 grandchildren, which bring Cheri and Jim so much joy

and laughter… God’s best blessings.

Cheri currently co-pastors Hope Church in Plain City,

Ohio, alongside Jim. She has a heart for encouraging and

equipping women, and is a beloved speaker in her church

as well as women’s events both in the states and abroad.

Cheri’s favorite times are with her family. She loves

yardwork in the spring and hosting guests anytime.

Cheri and Jim love doing mission work as a team, espe-

cially by encouraging and equipping pastors and their spous-

es. They love traveling together wherever the road, plane, or

boat carries them, and hope these will continue to lead them on

many other great adventures.
