Sheryl was born and raised in a small town in northwest Indiana. As a small child her grandmother took her to church, and it is during this time where she came to know Jesus.

Sheryl grew up in the Assemblies of God denomination—attending an Assemblies of God church and university. During her time at school, she majored in Children’s Ministries, and since then she has worked in a variety of church settings across the Midwest and Florida, including nondenominational and Vineyard churches—not to mention, she also worked as a childbirth doula for a few years. Sheryl has been with Sanlando since early 2020.

Sheryl is a lifelong learner, so any time she has the opportunity to learn, she jumps at it. She enjoys gardening, cooking, working on her home, and listening to podcasts. She also enjoys spending time with her husband and their five children; they specifically love family traditions and spending time at Disney whenever they get the chance.

 Natali has a teaching degree and taught in Seminole County for 10 years. Natali assisted in VPK classes at Sanlando Christian School last year. She is passionate about teaching children and helping them learn and grow with Jesus! Natali says, “I cannot wait to get to know your families better as I embark on this new journey!”

Mitchell was raised here in Seminole County. He has had the opportunity of growing up at Sanlando, the same church he where he came to faith in Jesus. Sanlando has held a special significance to him as a place where he can truly feel at home.

Mitchell is currently completing his bachelors degree in Music Performance from the University of Central Florida. His hope is to lead worship full time once he finishes college.

It seems Mitchell is always picking up new hobbies such as weightlifting, cooking, mixed-martial arts, and even acting.

Mitchell is passionate about music and using it as a means to glorify God. He loves to be able to lead others into worship and couldn’t imagine a more fulfilling calling.
