Responding to Hurricane Helene

The Reverend Kelly Gabriele

Associate Pastor | (843) 249-2312 | oceandrive@odpc.org

Kelly graduated with a degree in Communication Arts from Appalachian State University and went on to work in New York and Los Angeles as a professional actor/singer. She co-starred in National television shows, commercials and movies including roles on General Hospital, Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill. Her theatre credits include leading roles in The King and I, Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, and Grease as well as performing locally in the Alabama Theatre show and House of Blues.

Kelly volunteered at ODPC with the nic @ nite children’s program, attended bible study, and sang at worship services. In 2005, Kelly joined the staff as Director of Contemporary Worship serving in that position until 2019. She also served as Access Youth Director (2010-2013) and graduated with a Master’s degree from Knox Theological Seminary in 2017. She is grateful to ODPC for discipling, encouraging and nurturing her-Kelly truly is a “homegrown” pastor- and she hopes to encourage others to worship and walk with the Lord.

Kelly’s married to musician Bobby Gabriele, and their son Dominick is a graduate of Clemson University in Mechanical Engineering.  Click HERE to see Kelly’s testimony.
