Cody Moore
Executive Director
Mr. Moore came on board with The Tree House in June, 2008, coming from the inner-city of Denver where he led the restructuring and revitalization of The Pearl . His experience comes from the faith-based community working on behalf of minority and underserved populations, and he is the organizer and a continuing member of The Urban Conversation , a nation-wide network of religious urban workers and academics.

Mr. Moore possesses a graduate degree from the University of Colorado in Classics and another in Religion from Emmanuel School of Religion. He is an adjunct faculty member of both Dallas Christian College and Manhattan Christian College teaching in their online programs in the areas of Humanities and Leadership. His passion for academic work combines with a passion for leadership and organizational development in his work.

On a personal note, you'll most likely either find Cody hanging out with his beautiful wife, Rachel, and fun-loving children, Jori and Aidan, or lost somewhere on a lake while fly fishing in the Rocky Mountains. If you happen to come across him in the latter situation, please have the decency to walk on by without noticing.

Sherry Cole, RScP
Special Projects Coordinator
Having spent 20+ years in performance and arts administration, I find this experience comes in handy almost every day as the Special Projects Coordinator for The Tree House Center and all its branches.  From  creating and managing a Volunteer & Donor Base, publishing our quarterly newsletter, and on to all the aspects that make a major fundraiser a success, my position stretches the gamut of all possibilities. 

Now, as a Practitioner or Spiritual Mentor with The Global Heart Spiritual Center, I find that my strong commitment to faith makes this work all the more satisfying.   I have again and again witnessed those possibilities becoming reality in a beautiful and perfect order.  It is a pleasure to do this work that supports the young people of The Grand Valley in bringing into reality the greater possibilities of their lives, as well!
