Our story
Lady Cheryl was an amazing wife, mother, Gee Gee, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Her legacy of giving, love, and outreach will forever be remembered through this scholarship. She lived her life to ensure that all felt loved and appreciated. The Twilley Family is offering this scholarship in honor of our mom, Cheryl Twilley. Since a child, Lady Cheryl as she was affectionately called, had a ministry for outreach in socio-economical areas that faced challenges and adversity. As a young adult, she created an outreach ministry called "There is HOPE without DOPE, which assisted those who were struggling with addiction and homelessness. In 2016, while being led by God she founded Phenomenal Women's Ministries, where she provided food, clothing, and resources to women while rebuilding their confidence and self-worth teaching them that through Christ all things are possible. Phenomenal Women's Ministries transitioned to Phenomenal Outreach Ministries in 2021 with Lady Cheryl formally becoming Pastor Cheryl and working alongside her husband, Pastor Gregory to transform the community by providing bi-weekly hot meals to the homeless community in Atlanta, volunteering at shelters in the community to provide clothing, food, and resources to help them get on their feet.
