Anita Kell
Discipleship Ministries Coordinator
Anita was saved when she was in elementary school. She remembers a Sunday school teacher praying with her and leading her to Christ. She was sanctified during a revival at her home church. She grew up in this church with her family. She rebelled when she was in her twenties and left the church. But her church family never stopped praying for her. She returned when she met her husband Buck and has been in the church ever since. She served in children's ministries starting in her early 30's and was asked to be children's director. She declined, saying that she wasn’t ready for that role. About a year later she was asked again. At this time, God let her know that it was time and she accepted the call. She has been actively serving since that time. Some time later she was asked to be SDMI Chairperson. She remembers asking, “God do I give up children's ministries?” He spoke to her and let her know that with His help, she could serve in both capacities. She currently serves as SDMI Chairperson and Children's Administrator. She also serves as hospitality director and is willing to serve wherever God opens the door. She often says, “I love the Lord and love to serve Him by doing God's work.”
