Name: Bill Kelton

Title: Congregational Care Pastor

 

Basic Personal Information:  

•  Married for 52 years, we have two sons and three grandchildren.  I grew up on farms around Muldrow, Oklahoma then spent four years in Air Force (2-1/2 years in Japan).  I also attended the original Ft. Smith Junior College, receiving an AA degree in Business Administration.  I also attended a Course of Study at St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City for nine years, two weeks each summer.

My call to ministry – why it is my passion:

• I rededicated my life to Christ in 1969; in 1973 God called; in 1975 at age 52 I answered.  In 1977, I was appointed to three churches, finally retiring in 1994.  Then in 1995 I served in Barling, and then retired again in 2000.  That lasted until we moved to
  Heritage where I continued my calling.  I thank God that he has permitted me to live long enough to be a part of the ministry of Heritage.  I love visiting nursing homes and the physically challenged of Heritage.
   

Miscellaneous information I'd like to share:

• I was involved in the moving and commercial warehouse business for several years before entering the ministry. My hobbies are gardening, reading history on the web, putting old slides on CD's and now learning to put my old albums on CD's.
