Sindy Davila

Little Scholars Director - Haverhill Location

An Island girl raised in the city of Lawrence - My husband and I have made Andover our home and have been raising our amazing little family there for the past 20 years. I have known about Jesus my whole life and about 10 years ago I finally learned who HE really is and how much HE loves me! It’s my mission to let everyone around me know exactly how much HE loves them too! 

The last 6 years I have been a part of Little Scholars where I get to join Danyelle and Caley in our mission of sharing Jesus’ love with children and their families. As a ministry of Granite United Church we have the privilege of helping them in their mission of  reaching New England for Christ and there is nothing I would rather be doing!
