VISION & MISSION

It doesn't matter where you started.
It matters how you finish.

Disciple Maker exists to carry the hope of Jesus into correctional facilities, jails, and hard places, the kind of places Kelly understands from the inside.

Kelly grew up with a father in and out of prison, in a home shaped by instability and addiction. At fifteen, an unexpected conversation outside a donut shop changed the direction of his life.

Through Disciple Maker, Kelly:

  • Leads chapel services at local county correctional facilities in Utah

  • Shares the gospel and disciples men through one-on-one and group settings

  • Distributes accessible Bible translations to men who want to read Scripture

  • Creates resources designed for men without easy access to a church or study materials

  • Develops and onboards volunteers to serve alongside us in chaplaincy ministry

Meet the Founder

He holds a Bachelor's degree from Biola University and a Master's in Apologetics from Talbot Seminary, and has spent more than a decade equipping people with the critical thinking skills and biblical foundation they need to navigate life's hardest questions -- creation, meaning, morality, and what happens when we die.
