| Info | The Reverend George O. Kelley, Sr. was born and raised in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York. As a young child, he always dreamed of following in his father's footsteps, becoming a minister. Later in life, Rev. Kelley learned that God works in mysterious ways. He was first to become a minister in the streets of New York City as a police officer. Rev. Kelley worked in one of the toughest communities in Brooklyn, Bedford-Stuyvesant. It was there that he learned the need for strong partnership between citizens, civic organizations and government to combat crime and social ills.
In 1978, Rev. Kelley was blessed to take as his bride the lovely Wanda Turner. During this twenty-three years of marriage they have raised three children and are now proud grandparents. In December 1988, Rev. Kelley and his wife moved to Annapolis and joined the Annapolis Police Department.
Immediately upon moving to Annapolis, Rev. Kelley founded and pastored The Praise and Deliverance Tabernacle Church in the Clay Street community. It was here where Rev. Kelley continued to realize his dream. But God was still working on Rev. Kelley. During his tenure on the police department, he worked in various units: vice, narcotics, patrol and community policing. As he did his job, many individuals who rode in the back seat of his police vehicle, "got Jesus" before arriving at the police station.
On November 6, 2001, the dream became clearer for Rev. Kelley. God truly, truly works in mysterious ways. According to George O. Kelley, Sr. "It's not important where you minister or how well you minister. Just minister. As long as I'm serving my fellow man, my living is not in vain. I'm living my dream."
