Sherryl was born and raised in Anderson, Indiana. She graduated from Indiana Christian Academy and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from MBU in Wisconsin. Married to her husband Eric for 37 years, Sherryl had the joy of homeschooling their daughter, Erica (26), during her preschool and elementary years.

Throughout her career, Sherryl has taught students of various ages in diverse educational and para-educational settings. Last year marked her first year as an official preschool teacher at Fall Creek Christian Preschool. She expresses her gratitude for the opportunity to be a positive influence in the lives of preschoolers, saying, "Our families, especially our children, are the first and most important calling in each of our lives. Every child is a unique and precious person to God. He gives parents and the caregivers/educators they hire the privilege and responsibility to help them know God and become the person He wants them to be." (Proverbs 32:6, Luke 2:52).

Kim and her husband are proud parents of two children and recently relocated to Middletown, where they are building their dream home in the countryside. They enjoy exploring their wooded property and are dedicated to creating a homestead, complete with flower fields, gardens, and animal pastures.

Kim holds a degree in Public Health Education from Indiana University in Bloomington and is an AFAA-certified Group Fitness Instructor. She previously owned a small fitness business for women that welcomed children to join their mothers in class.

Now in her third year at Fall Creek Christian Preschool, Kim is excited to connect with the staff and children in this wonderful program. She is grateful for the opportunity to continue serving preschoolers five days a week.

Katlynn has been happily married to her husband, Taylor, for seven years. Together, they are raising three wonderful children: Carson (10), Paislee (5), and Ambrielle (4). They have been members of Fall Creek Christian Church for about five years and truly cherish their community there. Katlynn enjoys cooking, cheering on her kids at their sports events, and vacationing with family and friends.

Currently, Katlynn is pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education at Indiana Wesleyan University. Since 2018, she has gained valuable experience in education, serving as an assistant teacher at Head Start and in the special needs department for ACSC. Her passion lies in teaching, particularly young children.

Katlynn feels that Fall Creek Christian Preschool is where God has led her, and she is excited to be in her third year with the FCCP team. She looks forward to this journey of serving your children and building meaningful relationships with everyone. We are truly blessed that God has brought her to FCCP! Her experience, knowledge, and genuine passion for nurturing young minds are sure to be a wonderful gift to our preschoolers.

 Lucia has three years of experience working in a pre-K setting before embracing the wonderful opportunity to be a full-time grandmother. For the past seven years, she has had the joy of teaching her six grandchildren—and with one more on the way, she’ll soon have seven! Lucia enjoys reading, cross-stitching, and playing cards. After serving as an assistant last year, she is excited to now teach the two’s class.

Marla and her husband, Rick, moved to Pendleton two years ago to be closer to their 11 grandchildren. With eight years of preschool teaching experience at her Indianapolis church, Marla has also led women’s ministry. She is passionate about sharing God’s truths from the Bible, witnessing His Word transform lives, and connecting with people of all ages.

Celebrating 49 years of marriage, Marla and Rick are blessed with four married daughters and their cherished grandchildren—her most important mission field. In her free time, Marla enjoys playing pickleball, walking, attending her grandkids’ sporting events, knitting, traveling with her husband, and being part of a loving church family.

At FCCP, Marla will serve as a volunteer and guest teacher as needed. She is also one of the dedicated leaders and mentors in the moms’ ministry, MOMCO. We are grateful that she feels led to serve at FCCP!
