Kelly Coffelt, Deacon
As a deacon, I see my role as a bridge between the church and the needs of our larger community. I can’t wait to share my love of serving our neighbors and for you to share with me where you’d like to serve together. Before retiring in 2023, I was an educator for 30 years in Hamilton County as an English teacher, school administrator and district-level supervisor. I serve on the board at Metropolitan Ministries and regularly volunteer with the Chattanooga Food Bank. In addition, I have begun teaching Faith Development one day a week at St. Peter’s School for grades 4 and 5. I have been married to my husband, John, for 36 years, and we are parents to Kate (26), Ellis (21), and Carter (16).
