Andrew sharley
Associate Pastor
Andrew finds purpose in coming alongside and encouraging others in their journey with God! He praises God for persistently reaching his own heart by calling him to gospel service. He is thankful that Jesus cares for us emotionally, physically, and spiritually and sends us out to be conduits of that care to others!
When he has the opportunity, Andrew treasures time with his family and meaningful conversations with peers and mentors during activities. Bicycling, hiking, and time outdoors with God are some of the ways he finds refreshment. Sometimes you might even catch him stirring up a creative recipe in the kitchen.

Some of her roles in the office include graphic design and video editing; however, she often wears many hats.

Cherith Gonzalez
Church Treasurer
Cherith is a third-generation Adventist in her family. Her parents’ dedication to the service of God in the Educational/Administrative area has accompanied her throughout her life.
After graduating professionally as an accountant in her native country of Venezuela, Cherith wished God would allow her to use her talents for His work. The Apison SDA Church has given her this opportunity and allowed her to be the Treasurer. The church has also provided a family environment for Cherith, her husband, daughter, and son.
Aside from numbers, she loves playing the piano and getting to know new places (especially beaches!!).
