Kelley Jepsen
Pastor
John Knox Presbyterian Church welcomed The Rev. Kelley Jepsen as its Pastor and Head of Staff in April 2024. Pastor Kelley has come to us after serving most recently in Bloomington, Indiana as a Transitional Associate Pastor. Ordained by the PC(USA) in July of 2018, Pastor Kelley has also served as a Lake Fellow in Parish Ministry at Second Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis.
Indiana hasn't always been home though. Kelley claims herself as a forever Minnesotan with a Hoosier heart. She has a B.S. in Business from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota (go Gophers!), specializing in Supply Chain and Operations Management. After 8 years working for a medical device manufacturer, she pursued her call to ministry, attending Luther Seminary for her M.Div. Since 2023, she has also been a student at Christian Theological Seminary, working towards a D.Min.
Kelley is currently engaged to her partner, Curtis, who is an Acoustic Engineer. When she is not pastoring, Kelley loves to cook complicated recipes, cheer on her Green Bay Packers, and can often be found out looking for birds.
