Hill's Chapel Leadership

  Pastor Keith Sherrill has faithfully served as a Local Pastor since 2016 and has been blessed to serve Hill’s Chapel United Methodist Church since 2022. Prior to coming to Hill’s Chapel, he served two other appointments within the Western North Carolina Conference.

  Keith has a genuine heart for people and is passionate about sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ. He believes the church is called to be the hands and feet of Christ, both inside and outside its walls. Whether preaching God’s Word, building relationships, or serving alongside volunteers through Hill’s Chapel’s Free Choice Food Pantry and other community outreach ministries, his desire is to help others experience Christ’s love in meaningful ways.

  Keith and his wife, Emma, enjoy serving in ministry together and are grateful to be part of the Hill’s Chapel family. They are proud parents of their daughter, Hailey, and consider it a privilege to walk alongside the church as they worship, serve, and grow together in faith. 

  Pastor Keith is in the office throughout the week Monday-Thursday, his hours vary due to appointments and meetings. Pastor Keith's cell is 980-721-5467 and his email is ksherrill2@wnccumc.net.

He is always available calls, texts and emails.

Children's Coordinator 

Alix Turner 

Hi, my name is Alix Turner and I have been a member of Hill's Chapel for my whole life. I work as a third grade teacher and have a passion for kids. As a child, I attended the wonderful children's events my church offered me such as a monthly Kids Klub and VBS and I can't wait to be able to provide those services as an adult. I look forward to spreading God's Word and empowering kids to do the same!

Administrative Assistant

Cheryl Cole 

Hi everyone, I joined Hill’s Chapel UMC Staff in the fall of 2025 as the part-time Administrative Assistant.   Previously, I served as an office manager at a local church for 32 years.  I have been married to my husband, Bruce, for 44 years, and we have one daughter and son-in-law, Tori & Danny, and 2 golden retriever grandpups (sadly no grandchildren), Luna & Piper.  I’m truly excited to be working alongside all of you as we continue to serve God together.
