Kelly began serving as Associate Pastor at Walnut Hill in January of 2024. Kelly and his wife Sarah have attended and served Walnut Hill for many years and previously served on staff at Christian adventure camp Expeditions Unlimited. Before that, they served as church-planting missionaries in Papua New Guinea.
Kelly put his faith in Christ for salvation at the early age of 4, and through all the challenges of growing up, the Lord stayed close. In high school, Kelly came to a deeper understanding of the joy that can only come from the Lord. It was out of this joy that the Lord sparked a call to ministry, which at that point meant discipling young men and doing short-term mission trips. This led to a life path of helping more people catch the joy of walking closely with the Lord, whether in the jungles of Papua New Guinea or our hometown of Baraboo, WI!
Kelly and Sarah have two kids, Jemimah and Sawyer. We love to do just about anything adventurous outdoors, including biking, hiking, paddling, trail running and camping.
“For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.” Psalm 62:1-2
