The basic stuff would be that I am the Senior Pastor here at The LifePoint, and I love what I do! Helping people connect to God and each other is the most exciting and rewarding challenge I can imagine.

Before coming to The LifePoint, I have pastored three other churches - two of which are on the Estonian island of Saaremaa. (North-Eastern Europe.) My family started churches and Bible schools in Estonia, where we lived for almost 10 years before moving to New York in 2003.

Pastor Matt Kelly 

Pastor Matt and his wife Nicole

Basic Stuff:

I grew up in a denominational background, and felt God calling me to ministry shortly after graduating college. My beautiful wife Nicole grew up in church with people always saying, “You’d make such a great pastor’s wife!” When we first started dating, I think she was a little disappointed when I told her I’d never be a pastor, but it looks like she got the last laugh. It’s amazing how God can change things so quickly!

My wife and I are both graduates of Messiah College in Harrisburg, PA. She studied music and I studied film. After graduation I moved to Long Island to be closer to her, and a year or so later we got married. I’ve come to love the  Long Island area. It’s a real melting pot of cultures with an old school suburban flare that I like a lot.

Place of Birth:

Upstate New York

Marital Status:

Married to the beautiful and talented Nicole.

Past Times:

Video Editing, writing, creative thinking

Favorite Movie:

It’s a four-way tie: It’s a Wonderful Life, Back to the Future, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Favorite Book:

The Bible, and books with lots of pictures

Favorite Music:

The Beatles and the Beach Boys, plus lots of other music that no one seems to like

Lost, True Life, The Office, and Mystery Science Theater 3000

Favorite Verse:

Philippians 1:4-6

“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
