I am Cheryl Doro Wilder, the Founding Director of The Carpenter’s Shop Center. I am a native of Jacksonville, born and raised in Arlington, about 3 minutes from where TCSC is located.

My husband Clint, who the kids fondly call PC (short for Pastor Clint) and I pastored for 20 years. While pastoring, I felt led to start ‘out of school time’ programming for the children in the neighborhood and thus, The Carpenter’s Shop Center was birthed in 2007.
