Our Pastor

Pastor Skip and Donna Wiley

Church of the Holy Spirit

12-20-2020 – Present

My wife Donna and I have been born-again Christians since 1972. We’ve both been in service to the Lord from the very beginning in various churches and involved in various ministries. We are committed to serving in the local church as the scripture in Hebrews 10:25 says not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. We have been involved in study groups, bible studies and have been supportive of the local church wherever we attend. We are very committed to building the church, the family unit, the people, and serving our communities.

Since becoming a born-again Christian since day one. God and the bible tell us that we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Since the beginning God has been working in our lives together and separate as well. We will all stand before God alone and give an accounting for our own personal life.

Looking back at my life and Donna’s life, I see that God has been working in us and through us. We both have strengths and weaknesses, and God is blending us together. God has been preparing us both for a life in ministry, even though we don’t always see or know His perfect plan and how it would unfold in our lives.

As a pastor of the Church of the Holy Spirit, I now see how God was preparing us (me and Donna) for the work of ministry, through service, obedience, and having a heart to go where He would lead us to go. I was not looking to be Pastor of a church, I wanted to serve God in whatever capacity he had for us. I’ve always said to God that I was available to do what He wanted me to do. I have always been available to serve no matter where I was at in my travels. I thank God for the talents and abilities that has been given to me. I will always use what talents I must to give God the glory.

In my life as a born-again Christian, I have had the extreme pleasure to serve in a varied field of ministries. Some areas of ministry include Children’s ministry, bible studies (youth – adults), home groups, Intercessory prayer, prison ministry, and ministering in various churches, here and Canada, and a gift of helps and wherever the need. 

On the 31st day of August 2018 I was set apart and called to Minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Warren Revival Center in Leavittsburg OH. By Rev. Tom Holbrook.

In Dec. 2019 we were asked to come and help as supply Pastor at the Church of the Holy Spirit by Jane Smith. After meeting with Jane and several conversations, we agreed to come and do 2 services a month for 3 months.

At the end of that 3-month period they still hadn’t filled that position and we agreed to continue to assist them. In Dec. 6th of 2020 I was unanimously voted in by the board members and members of the congregation to be the new Pastor of the church. We thank God for this great opportunity to serve such a great group of men and women.

My Testimony

I have been born again Christian for approximately 50 years. At an early age before becoming a Christian. I found myself wondering what life was all about. I didn’t know who I was, why I existed and what life was all about. I felt lost and hopeless. Nothing I did seemed to fulfill me or bring peace in my life. I tried many things to fill the emptiness I felt inside. Alcohol, relationships, money, hobbies, and friendships, only to come up unsatisfied and still not finding what I was looking for. Then one day at work in the auto industry where my job as an absentee relief person. I was working next to a person that I didn’t know at the time and noticed something very different about him. He was very quiet, very peaceful, and I could see he was different than all those I worked with. After starting a conversation with him, I realized that he was a born-again Christian. I then realized why he was not like anybody that I had talked to before. After watching him for a couple of days. I saw something in him and the peace that he had, and I didn’t have that in my life. I knew then that I had to find out more about what made him so peaceful. He began to share with me his story and it all made perfect sense to me, even though I didn’t understand it all. After inviting me to church, I was still not sure that this life was for me, even though I was very attracted to what was being spoken to me. After much though I finally agreed to go to church with him. On that Sunday morning in Oct. of 1972, I heard the word of God preached in a real way. That Sunday I went forward and received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. At that moment my life began to change, and I knew that God and Jesus were not just up there in heaven and me on earth. Jesus was now living within my heart, and I had a personal encounter with the Jesus the Son of God. Now I know that I’m truly born-again and have the peace of God living in me.
