Their ministry in the Church of the Nazarene began in 1971, having served churches in Puerto Rico, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee. They have also served as full-time evangelists. Pastor Keller is a veteran of the United States Air Force. He earned a BS in Behavioral Science from Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville, Tennessee, and a MS in Family and Child Development from Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina. He serves as a part-time teacher with the Master Teacher Program for ministers on the East Tennessee District of the Church of the Nazarene. Sue was raised in a Nazarene parsonage. She attended Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville, Tennessee, and Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina. Her personal ministry is most often focused on ladies groups, missions and music. Her greatest gift of the Holy Spirit is that of encouragement for both her spouse and the congregations they serve. The Keller's have three married children, each serving in staff-position ministries for the Lord. They have eight grandchildren. |
