YOUNG WOMEN'S COORDINATOR

VERONICA COOK PERRY Born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, Veronica is a devoted wife, loving mother of four, proud grandmother of two, and blessed bonus grandmother whose life is rooted in faith, family, perseverance, and service.

Veronica’s spiritual foundation was established at an early age at Garden of Prayer #7 under the leadership of Pastor Brown. Inspired by the unwavering faith, strength, and wisdom of her grandmother, mother, and aunts, she learned to trust God through every season of life. As a young single mother, Veronica leaned on that foundation to find strength, overcome challenges, and provide for her children with courage and determination.

Despite the demands of motherhood, Veronica remained committed to personal growth and perseverance. While raising her children as a single mother, she pursued her education and earned an associate degree. She later built a successful career in the insurance industry while giving back to her community through service on a booster board, decorating balloon arches and many other creative activities. Throughout her journey, she has remained a constant source of love, encouragement, and support for her children, proudly celebrating their accomplishments and supporting their athletic endeavors.

As the Young Women’s Coordinator, Veronica’s heart is especially drawn to encouraging and mentoring young women and mothers who may be navigating challenging seasons of life. Having experienced firsthand the power of faith, resilience, and encouragement, she desires to create a space where young women feel supported, valued, and empowered to recognize their God-given potential. Her approach to mentorship is grounded in patience, understanding, compassion, and the belief that no woman should have to face life’s challenges alone.

Veronica considers her family one of her greatest blessings and hopes to leave a lasting legacy of faith, love, and strength, especially for her daughter, who she hopes will always see through her example that faith and family are at the heart of a meaningful life.

Her message to every young woman is simple yet powerful: Hold your head high, give yourself grace, keep moving forward in faith, and never give up on the woman God created you to be. Veronica believes that with faith, love, kindness, and perseverance, even life’s most difficult seasons can become opportunities for growth, healing, and renewed purpose.

Veronica's favorite scriptures are Psalms 91:1 and 91:2

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

"I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
