In 2008 Pastor Kelly Cross will celebrate 25 years of working in ministry since first being called by God to be an evangelist.

Pastor Kelly Cross comes from a diverse Chirstian background. She was raised Lutheran, then accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior in the Southern Baptist Church, and from that point had a strong hunger for the Word of God and all that He had for her. Consequently, she was baptized in the Holy Ghost in her prayer closet (literally a closet!) at the Southern Baptist College she attended, and the following summer began attending a spirit-filled church and pursuing the call that God had placed on her life. She has personally sat under many powerful ministers such as: Rev. Kenneth Hagin, Pastor Rod Parsley, Rev. Keith Moore, and TL and Daisy Osborn. She, like many glbt people, went through a very trying time, when she fell in love with someone of the same sex and left the church she had been a part of for 14 years after struggling for months. A few months later she began attending an MCC and searching for the truth for 2 years before preaching again. She stayed and served at that church for 8 years, then she and a group of friends began a home Bible Study and through prayer they birthed Master's Commission New Covenant Church. She is happily married to her spouse Carla and they are blessed with 6 children and a grandson.
