After graduating from Charis Bible College in 2023, God called Sheryl and Dana Samm, a wife-and-husband team for thirty-nine years, to plant and pastor Charis Bible Church in CO Springs, CO.  Together, they have raised and homeschooled their five children, who are now thriving adults, and they are blessed with seven grandchildren.

 As Senior Pastor of Charis Bible Church, Sheryl is excited to serve the community and help believers grow in the balance of grace and faith in their relationship with God.  Dana, a veteran in the United States Air Force who served honorably for 21 years, graduated from Charis Bible College alongside Sheryl. He will serve as Senior AVL Lead at CBC overseeing the technical aspects of services and ensuring that Charis's ministry will be well-supported in every area.

 Together, Sheryl and Dana are committed to building a local church body that emphasizes God's love, the believer's authority, and identity in Christ. Their leadership will equip believers to nurture relationships and foster an atmosphere of love in the balance of grace and faith.

 Charis Bible Church will help believers of all ages and backgrounds experience a portion of what heaven will look like, as they discover the love of God personally, their identity in Jesus, and the believer's authority to live here and not just in heaven the abundant life God has purposed for each person.
