RED BOOK WITH CREM COLORED WORDING Experiencing God

"EXPERIENCING GOD" 

 Pastor Matthew has been teaching, HAS BEEN a 'dig a little deaper' experience for this author.


I find myself looking at my relationship with God with new eyes. 


I want to 'EXPERIENCE GOD' now, more than ever, so I will KNOW the trumpet when my BRIDEGROOM splits the clouds! Not only that. The daily living is so much richer.

Thank you Lord for your Word.


I encourage you to go to our YOUTUBE channel for wednesday nights and start your experience and your dig!!

Trying to find a photo of sis. Callie Kelley, was complicated, because she was never by her self. Always WITH someone, which leads me to our spotlight this month of our pastors wife. She is never in the forefront. Always  in the background. Always has a smile and loves people. You can tell by her pictures. YOU go to her facebook page and see what I'm talking about. I hope you enjoy getting to know Sis. Callie better, in the SPOTLIGHT.

Where were you born?  Paris …. Texas ~not France!


How long have you lived in Texarkana area? 

2 years. We live on the Arkansas side, and not too far from the church.


Do you Have any brothers and sisters? 

Yes. 

I have one brother. 

Two brother-in-laws, and three sister-in-laws.


Married ? Yes. Bro. Matthew Kelley. We have 3 children. Mallie; Eli and Ella.


I was saved as a child, but rededicated my life at 16 and got serious about serving the Lord. 


In June 16, 2024 God called us to Faith Assembly. WE are loving what God is doing.


I’ve always worked with kids. 

My first job at 16 was at a latch-key after school program. I worked there all the way through high school and part of college. 


I started teaching in public school at 21, worked there for 3 years and moved to private school. 

I got my associates degree at Paris Junior College & my bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies  from Texas A&M-Commerce. 

I also hold a Texas Teaching certificate.

The big miracle in my life besides salvation, was In 2018, I was in a car accident. Long story short, I was intubated and care-flighted out. 


I was put in ICU in a major hospital in Dallas with broken ribs, lung contusions, face fractures, and more. 

They told Matthew the next 48 hours were critical. People across the United States began to pray. 

Only by God’s hand, I went home in 3 days.  

I have no doubt God touched and healed me.

I love People.  It is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a pastors wife.

Being able to be there for people during their best times and during their worst times. 


There have been many people who have had an influence throughout my life. 

I have been blessed to have several people who have shaped our ministry. I cannot name just one.


My favorite past time is Spending time with my family.


My favorite hobby, activity, or creative outlet is Shopping. I love to shop !

My Favorite restaurant is Tamollys . I can smell it from here!! That makes my all time favorite food  MEXICAN.
