Office/Finance Manager
Cheryl Valdebenito

Who I Am:

 

As a child of God, I am blessed to have known many times in my life where He has guided me through incredible growth experiences.  As the first child of three in an Air Force family, I moved frequently as a youngster, setting the stage for necessary change and flexibility throughout life.  Middletown, NY, was called “home” for many years, followed by moves to Massachusetts, Virginia and now Florida. 

 

In 1984 I rededicated my life to Christ as a member of a PCA church, having grown up a Catholic. In 1988, I joined The United Christian Parish, a four-denomination ecumenical church in Reston, VA, where I served in many capacities. I was ordained a (PCUSA) Elder there, and served a term as moderator of the governing board.  It is where my husband, Ricardo, and I were married. 

 

I have served two Presbyterian and Methodist churches since 1999, with a focus on finance and facility management. I received my certification as a church business administrator in 2002 (NACBA & PCBAA) and 2005 (UMC).  Prior to that, my career path was in medical manufacturing - procurement, inventory control and contract management.  In addition, I am a certified biofeedback (stress reduction) practitioner.

 

Ricardo & I live in St. Pete with our loving pet companions.  We have a son and two daughters and four grandchildren - who hale from New Jersey, Nashville and Orlando.  We are members of Maximo Presbyterian Church, where I am currently serving as a member of the Communications Committee.

 

 

What I Do:

· Serve as a resource for Church finance committees, bookkeepers, financial secretaries, and business administrators

· Provide financial reports for committees, the Board of Trustees, and the Council

· Offer info on General Assembly project numbers for Directed and Extra Commitment Giving and Benevolence Remittance Forms
