Quotes About Sharyl's Ministry



“When we were looking for a new church home, Sharyl was so warm, welcoming and ultimately were one of the reasons we chose Deep Run. Her stories and the way she preaches always put things in perspective for me and made me understand what The Lord was saying. I left each week striving to be a better person. She baptized two of our sons and sat with us before hand so that we completely understood the meaning of baptism. She has a way with the kids that made them feel at ease with you as well." 
                Kristin Martin Kleppinger

“Sharyl's pastoral care for the church is demonstrated in her humble character, evidenced from the very beginning of her ministry 25 years ago when she was cleaning bathrooms for a Christian camp.”                                            David Larson

"Sharyl mentored me in my very first ministry role. I was interning in the church where she served as associate pastor. What amazed me about Sharyl was her ability to connect with anyone and everyone. Her sense of humor, her genuine compassion, and her wit and intelligence allowed her to engage with youth, adults and seniors with equal ease. She was able to cut through "institutional" baggage and focus on the important things in ministry: spiritual health, building community, serving outside our comfort zones. The youth group loved her and viewed her as their biggest champion and spiritual leader. the adults of the church appreciated her youthful energy and authenticity. Sharyl has a rare combination of gifts that God has used in powerful ways in the lives of others." Rev. Jeremy Sanderson

“Sharyl is an amazing teacher. She finds creative ways to make Bible principles come alive for learners of all ages.” Emily Feil

    “Sharyl has been a spiritual support to me and my family on the happiest and saddest days of my life. I met Sharyl through a friend when I was looking for an officiant for my wedding. Sharyl met with me and my husband several times to get to know us and made our ceremony very personal and special. She was one of the first people I talked to after my husband died suddenly and she presided over his memorial service. People still tell me how wonderful and comforting the memorial was.                                                      
     Sharyl has a gift for connecting with people and touching their lives. Any congregation would be extremely fortunate to have her.” Samantha Drake

“Sharyl performed a seamless wedding for my wife and on 8/6/06. She took the stresses of a wedding day away from us and performed the most perfect wedding ever. She worked alongside my priest, Father John F. Kennedy, beautifully. I really loved her very moving sermon which was written so beautifully and was written towards us personally. You knew her love of God and us was in the air.” John Hrynyk

“If Sharyl weren’t a minister, she could have her own HBO comedy show. She did so much for my hurting soul as she taught at the Women’s Conference I attended. She shared not only the Gospel but her brokenness and her wonderful gifts from God.”  Michelle Jones
