PASTOR’S Family

The Sullivan Family

Pastor Richard Sullivan has dedicated his life to ministry, family, and serving others with compassion and faith. He and his wife, Kellie, have been part of the Holts Summit community for over a decade. Together, they have raised their family while faithfully leading Summit First Assembly and serving in ministries that reach far beyond their local church.

Richard’s life is marked by a deep commitment to walking with people through every stage of life—celebrating milestones, guiding families through challenges, and offering spiritual care in times of need. His heart for ministry extends beyond the pulpit, into hospital rooms, nursing homes, funeral homes, and community spaces where people need encouragement most.

My calling is to walk with people through every stage of life—with faith, hope, and love.
