Elder

mike_magnotti.jpgMike Magnotti has been married to his wife Rosie, for the last 30 years, who, except for her questionable taste in men, is the most wonderful, gracious and generous person he has ever known.  Mike & Rosie have two phenomenal kids, an exceptional son-in-law and equally exceptional pending daughter-in-law.  Their grandkids amaze them.  Mike's favorite scripture is Psalm 73:25-26; "Whom have I in heaven but you?  And earth has nothing I desire beside you.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Mike Kelley

Elder

My name is Mike Kelley. I have lived most of my life in the Wenatchee Valley. I came to know Jesus Christ during my senior year at Eastmont High School in 1971. I graduated from Seattle Pacific College with a bachelor’s degree in Biblical Literature and Philosophy. I married Vicki Cooney in 1978 and together we have raised three great kids: Drew who is 28 and just finishing his Journalism degree at the University of Oregon; Alisa at 26 is halfway through the masters’ program in Psychology at Southern Oregon University and Alex who is 19 and has just begun his collegiate career at Wenatchee Valley College. My journey in Christ has led me to serve at New Song since 2002 and I am employed as an Information Technology Specialist at the Washington State Department of Transportation. It is my absolute joy and passion to serve God’s people and to watch him work in their lives. I am constantly reminded of Paul’s exhortation to the Corinthians after reminding them of the resurrection of Jesus:

“...don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.” (I Corinthians 15:58b)
