Will Kelly Will is the Student Ministries Pastor at Woodcrest. He grew up in Montana and ended up in Minnesota via Crown College, where he graduated with a degree in Youth Ministry. It was also at Crown that he met his wife Kayla, who has loved him unconditionally for over a decade. She truly is one of God’s greatest examples of grace. They have three kids, who keep them on their toes and ensure that they’re always trucking along in life. Will enjoys all things sports, all things trivia, and has a knack for pop culture. He also enjoys a good meme. One of Will’s favorite things, though, is spending time with students and making sure that they’re known, appreciated, and loved—by him, by the leaders, and by Jesus. Favorite Bible Verse: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39 |
