Worship leader and Speakers For Gems of Grace!!

Meet our worship leader for Gems of Grace!
My name is Tori Sheckler, and I have been blessed to be able to lead worship at my local church for the last six years. I have always loved music and began playing instruments nearly 20 years ago. I’m thankful for the incredible musicians and singers I have been able to worship with over the years. My hope is to be able to continue to use my gifts however God calls me to.
Outside of leading worship, I love spending time with my amazing husband and two beautiful little girls. I work full-time as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst working with children and young adults. I have had several mission opportunities over the last eight years, and recently my husband and I had the opportunity to volunteer at a special education school in Mexico. My heart has always been in missions, and I look forward to whatever opportunities God allows in the future. We welcome you Tori!
