About Kelli

In the middle of pursuing a degree in Communications and a dream of hosting “Good Morning America,” God transformed Kelli’s heart.  Her desire to be known became engulfed by her desire to make Him known.  Now for over 20 years in ministry, she has been enthusiastically sharing God’s story with children, youth, college students, and adults of all ages.  Kelli has a passion to help others see how God has uniquely written their personal life story to reveal His presence and purpose. Her love for God’s Word and the body of Christ shine through her as she encourages, equips, and empowers others in their walk with God.


Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader! Kelli rallies and encourages ministry volunteers and teams in her role as SERVE minister at Christ Community Church in Columbus, Georgia. She loves seeing people reach their full potential in Christ and personally cheering them on in the process. Cultivated by her seminary studies, Kelli is passionate about God’s Word and its application to our lives. She enjoys the Greek language and often brings illuminating word studies into her messages.


Kelli married her college sweetheart, Chris, and they have spent over twenty years enjoying life together.  There is never a dull moment at home with their two high-spirited children, Rebekah and Ryan. In fact, Kelli is certain that God inspires craziness in her home just so she can have great life illustrations! Kind of crazy herself, she loves to sing and dance, both of which she does with a lot of heart and not much talent.  She brings this enthusiasm for life to her speaking platform. 


Living for ONE... when life is a crowd is meant to be an encouragement for all as we seek God together. Because life is so busy, demanding, and distracting, living for God becomes increasingly difficult. We have a hard time hearing His voice above the noise. Join Kelli as she writes passionately about living her life for ONE.
