Rev. Kelly was born in Corona, CA and grew up in small town Oklahoma. In search of something different, he moved to Las Vegas, NV where he spent nearly 18 years.

After those many years in the desert, he relocated to the Sacramento area before landing in Ventura County, CA. Kelly spent 30+ years in various capacities in the casino industry. Additionally, he served in the U.S. Army Reserve where he became a drill sergeant.

 

Regardless of where life took him, Rev. Kelly always maintained an interest in spiritual and religious studies. He would come to explore the direct link our thoughts and beliefs have on our experience of life.

 

He began his studies in Religious Science in 2011, becoming a Religious Science Practitioner in 2015 and becoming a licensed minister through Emerson Theological Institute in 2020.

He is excited to be the Spiritual Director at CSL Pleasant Valley and looks forward to meeting you.
