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

I grew up in a large family with 8 siblings and parents who loved the Lord and were diligent in teaching and living out the truth of the Gospel. God completely convinced me he was real and the sovereign ruler of the universe when I was 13. I started my journey of ministry when I was 18 by moving to Mississippi for disaster relief work. While I was there I also interned under the youth pastor at Lemoyne Blvd Baptist church and Youth For Christ. I was blessed with Godly and patient men who helped me learn preaching and discipleship.

After a couple years I moved back to Wisconsin and volunteered as a youth leader and eventually youth director at a Presbyterian church in the Dells for 3 years while Guiding at Expeditions Unlimited during the summers.

I got married to my beautiful wife (Johanna) and partner in ministry in 2013. We ran two discipleship programs at Expeditions Unlimited and volunteered in Walnut Hill’s youth group. In 2020 we left Expeditions Unlimited and started a small business but had accepted the position of High school ministry deacon and loved serving under Jesse Wells. After Jesse left to pursue a new ministry we felt the Lord leading us to offer to fill in during the search for a youth pastor.

We love being a part of what the Lord is doing in the youth of our church.

We have 5 wonderful additional members to our family
Sabrina, Ariel, Jedidiah, Malachi and Sophie
