Welcome To Kenton UMC

Meet Pastor Rick.

My name is Patrick Kelly. I am a child of God, a son, a brother, a husband of 12 years to Veronica, the father of 4 lively and loving children ages 12 to 6. Being deaf, I am fluent in American Sign Language and English, and enjoy signing along to worship music on Sunday mornings.

I remember at a young age being powerfully drawn to the pulpit where my grandfather preached and feeling a profound sense of awe of the Lord. As a child, I joined a group that performed ASL to song. At thirteen years of age, I attended Teen Missions International for US ministry work for eight weeks. Ever since I was old enough to decide to serve Jesus, I have found myself rarely saying no to an opportunity to serve.

Throughout my life, the call to serve in the role of a pastor and shepherd has continued to echo and beckon me for the past three decades. I am excited to heed the call at Kenton United Methodist Church and love and serve this community.
