Meet The Team: Sharell Shippen

Role: “My role as The Common Place’s Director of Missions, is to engage local and national groups in missional work throughout the greater Philadelphia area. Through full immersion programs like “A Common Youth Initiative,” biases and barriers to growth are challenged allowing participants to think more critically and curiously about what they can learn from the diversity found in varying neighborhoods around Philadelphia.

Interests: ” I love to stay active, mentally, physically, spiritually, etc. My interest include working out, playing and watching sports, spending time with family, reading, studying new topics, wine tastings, trying new things and traveling.”

What motivates you to work hard?Throughout my life there have been many people and organization that have “shown up”

for me. God has continually sent encouragement, protection and guidance my way. Others have sacrificed so that I could be where I am today. Their commitment and hard work motivates me to create opportunities for others. Knowing firsthand the impact that one person can make motivates me to show up for others.”
