Pastors
Faith Kelley
Faith is excited about Jesus’ call to feed his sheep- literally and figuratively. Before becoming a pastor she worked in hospitality, Quaker nonprofits and as a public librarian. She loves to cook, read non-fiction and putter around in her garden. She has four small kids and a dog with her husband, Micah Bales. Faith is working on trusting that she is beloved of God each day.
Micah Bales
Micah is a writer, teacher, and graduate of the Earlham School of Religion‘s Master of Divinity program. He also works as a software engineer. Micah lives together with his wife (Faith) and their four children in Oakland. Read Micah’s sermons and other writings at www.micahbales.com.
