Clergy & Staff

As the Director of Student Ministry, JD works within the family ministry team to shepherd All Saints students, leading in discipleship and evangelism efforts. JD strives to provide vision, energy, and passion while overseeing Sunday morning Club and Crew, Club and Crew nights, retreats, and small groups. He seeks to be a resource as he assists in the Family Table service and church activities such as mission trips. JD has a great passion for seeing students experience the love of God and loves serving alongside Kelsey, the All Saints staff, and the congregation as Jesus leads us in His work.

JD grew up near Pittsburgh in the town of Beaver, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Geneva College earning a degree in Student Ministry with specializations in experiential education and urban ministry. JD remembers meeting Jesus at Ligonier Camp, where he attended every summer growing up and later worked. He saw the joy that comes from knowing Jesus and decided to follow Him. God later put ministry on JD’s heart when he served other students at youth group. God encouraged this calling during summers serving at Ligonier Camp and an internship in Kenya. JD has been blessed to serve in camp ministry as a counselor and staff director, as a missionary intern at a school and orphanage in Kenya, in afterschool programs for children affected by poverty, and church student ministries as a youth pastor.

While at Ligonier, JD also met Kelsey, his favorite All Saint’s co-worker and beautiful wife. The two of them met serving kids at summer camp and God continues bringing them together to serve His Kingdom. Having grown up in western Pennsylvania, JD is a Steelers, Penn State football and Pittsburgh Penguins fan, although Kelsey, convinced him to surrender his Pittsburgh Pirates for the Washington Nationals. JD and Kelsey are self-described “people persons” who love engaging in meaningful relationships, deep conversations, playing board games and enjoying God’s creation as well as doing anything with friends and family in their spare time.

Kelsey was born in San Diego, California and moved at the age of 4, with her parents and three older siblings, to Northern Virginia. Her passion for ministry started while she herself was a student in youth ministry, volunteering with younger students, playing in the worship band, and working at Ligonier Camp in Pennsylvania, where she would later meet her husband, JD, in 2017 (he’s pretty great and he also works at All Saints, so go read about him!).

Upon graduating from Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Virginia, Kelsey moved to Gainesville, FL to attend the University of Florida – Go Gators! There, she received a degree in video production with a specialization in sports production, which she took with her to work with the Washington Nationals on the game presentation and scoreboard team in 2018 and 2019. She now works full-time as a Digital Media Producer for Prison Fellowship, an organization with a mission to restore lives affected by crime and incarceration all across the country.

Ministry has been the primary focus in all of Kelsey’s pursuits. Whether sitting in a classroom, singing on stage, editing a video for the scoreboard at the World Series, or working in an office, the task has always been the vehicle for representing Christ to the people around her. In each of these life stages, Kelsey has had a web of mature believers inside and outside of her family investing in her and fostering her passion for Christ. Because of this, she is excited to be a committed member of that web of adult believers for the students of All Saints Church as a part-time Student Minister. She is particularly excited about encouraging the young women in 5th to 12th grade in the ways the God has uniquely created them to represent Christ in the world.
