"I don’t know where I would be today if it wasn’t for Sean Kelly. August 24, 2009. I called pastor Kelly to meet him in his office to get saved. I am very thankful he never gave up on me even though I was not the greatest kid to talk to. I appreciate his love for souls! He came and watched me graduate from Bible college. I am very thankful for Sean Kelly!"

"I have known Sean and Anita Kelly for many years and have been impressed with their desire to serve the Lord. They have sacrificed much in the past to serve our Lord.

Jeff Stewart
Pastor
Choice Hills Baptist Church
Greenville, South Carolina
"Without any hesitation I am glad to give testimony concerning the ministry of Brother Sean Kelly and his dear wife Anita Kelly. My family has known Anita since she was a young girl living with her parents in A'burg, Germany in 1987. Even then she had a great love for the Lord and was a great helper in the ministry to her family as they ministered to the U.S. Military. We always enjoyed her piano playing and singing. We rejoiced with her family when she met Sean and they were eventually married. It has been a great encouragement to see their continued faithful service to their Lord together over these many years now. They have indeed been a great witness and example before others and pointed many to Christ.
I have heard many speak of what a great preacher Sean is and his great love for God's Word. There are not many who stand today faithfully on the solid doctrines of the BIble. Sean continues to stand firmly upon these truths that have built great churches and changed many homes. Unfortunately too many churches today get sidetracked by insignificant matters that won't make a difference in eternity or have any impact on the souls of men. I have sadly seen several good men and churches ruined over methodology more than theology. Brother Sean fortunately knows which to keep priority in his ministry. Having been in the ministry full time now for over 30 years I appreciate faithfulness and true love for the Lord and His people as seen in the life of Bro. Sean. My family would gladly sit under Bro. Sean's preaching."

Christine Wyatt
Former church member, Indiana
"Pastor Sean Kelly was my family's pastor during some of the toughest times in our lives.
My son Noah was a very sick little boy. From the age of about 18 months until about 3 years old. He was hospitalized at least 20 times during this time. Every single time Pastor Kelly was there to pray with us, give us guidance, and to show us how much he cared. I will never forget how he led a prayer service for our son when they thought he might have cancer. As our whole church prayed over my sick baby, I saw Sean Kelly weeping unashamedly. I have seen this man go without sleep because someone was hurt or ill or going through some kind of crisis. Everyone knew without a doubt that Pastor would be there whatever the reason he was needed. My friend was going through a horrible divorce and her husband turned violent late 1 night. Pastor Kelly was called and was there within minutes. His wisdom and calm demeanor diffused the situation almost immediately. I was hospitalized with meningitis and the only people that were allowed to visit were my husband and my Pastor. Once again Sean Kelly was there no questions asked despite the possible risk to his and his family's health. I have never ever had a Pastor before or since who cared so much or gave so much of himself. I consider myself blessed to have known this great man and to have been able to call him my Pastor. I truly miss him and his family."

"I met Sean Kelly at Fairfax Baptist Temple Academy, a Christian school in Fairfax, Virginia, where we both attended high school, and have known him for 29 years now. During that time, I have found him to be an individual of steadfast principle, with a heart that truly desires to serve the Lord and benefit those around him. As long as I have known him, ministry has been his primary focus, and his wife regularly testifies to his continued dedication in serving as a pastor, as well as to the excellence he has displayed as both a husband and a father. I am thankful to have called him a friend for these many years, and I would readily trust him with my children."

"I don't even know where to begin to tell you how special Bro. Sean and Ms Anita are. There is so many times that they where there for my family and me. They have been such a blessing to us. Bro. Sean came to our church in 2011 right at the time my dad had a stroke and I called him to ask for prayer for my dad. Bro. Sean hadn't met my dad at that time because my dad wasn't able to attend church but Bro. Sean got out at midnight in a really bad storm to come to the hospital to sit with us while my dad was in surgery. Bro. Sean is a very compassionate man and a great man of God. Bro. Sean has always preached inspiring messages and true to the Bible. Bro. Sean and Ms Anita were always working to build up our ministry. Ms Anita was very involved in the music program and ladies ministry. We love Bro. Sean and his family very much."

Evangelist and Missionary Builder
"Sean Kelly and I have been involved in several mutual planning and orchestration facets of meetings involving a few to hundreds of individuals during the past years. Regardless of agreement or not, I have never seen a single demeaning tendency. Over and over I have seen him be very interested in helping the development of all involved. Leadership by example is a mode that earns him the respect and followship of those he works with. He is well beyond his years in Bible adherence, Bible scholarship and preaching.
Mr. Kelly’s deportment has been an example to all around him. He is an outstanding model of a Christian gentleman. The approach he seems to take is a very positive attitude toward any opportunity he faces. In this atmosphere of sexual misconduct, I would say he is very conscious and even very guarded concerning anything that might even appear inappropriate.
His family and other areas of influence look to be very stable. Obstacles do not present an opportunity to quit, but on the other hand opportunities to achieve. I see a well educated, balanced individual that applies himself to the tasks and responsibilities addressed.
I would think he would be an excellent choice for a senior pastor. Bro. Sean Kelly would be an asset to any team that chooses him and he is guided to join. Mrs. Kelly is a very accomplished pianist and vocalist that can also instruct in both of these areas. The Kelly boys and Mrs. Kelly are a blessing to any music program or service they minister in."

Jim Christie
Former church member, Indiana
"It is my pleasure to endorse Pastor Sean Kelly, who I have known for about 15 years. He was my pastor for about five years. I always found him to be honest and trustworthy. He was a pastor who truly cared about the people involved in his ministry. He was a good, Godly leader who believed in fellowship with like minded churches, was very missions minded and had a heart for soul winning. During his pastorate, we were always busy with church functions. Pastor Kelly started a campmeeting which has continued up until last year, when it was stopped due to COVID. Our church still has the original three campmeeting evangelists preach at our campmeeting and fill our pulpit on occasion. Pastor Kelly was the man responsible for making me realize how important daily Bible study and prayer is. I would say he was the most well rounded pastor I have served under. Pastor Kelly certainly meets the Biblical qualifications for pastor and has a very Godly wife who was instrumental in the operation of our church. She often went above and beyond to make sure church functions were successful."

To people that really know them, they have always been true friends and truly a good Christian family. I hold them in the highest regard as friends and as Godly people. I would have no problem with him being my pastor."

"I have known the Kellys for a number of years - Sean since his high school years, and Anita more recently. I'm very familiar with Anita's Christian heritage having hosted her father and his wife in my home.
I have followed their ministry for several years via social media, and have fellowshipped with them somewhat recently. I have observed their faithfulness to Lord in spite of opposition, often over petty matters blown out of proportion. I have also observed their graciousness in handling such matters. They stand firmly on God's Word and its principles, never compromising in what they believe God would have them do, yet at the same time showing love as much as possible to those who do not agree with them. I know that God has greatly used them in several ministries and believe that He will continue to do so because they are whole-heartedly yielded to Him."
