About Kelly Sisney – An award winning comedian, Kelly enjoys traveling throughout the country sharing her unique perspective on life through comedic storytelling that is both hilarious and real. Having grown up in the church, married her college sweetheart, and successfully raised two children, Kelly vows that all her stories come right out of her own wacky life.

As 2010 approaches, we will be assessing the budgetary needs of Northwest for mission and ministry in the new year. We do not make our budget and then go after pledges, but rather we see what the pledges are before we make our budget!

You may drop off your pledge card at church anytime in November
