TRENTON KELLY

Trenton Kelly grew up in Tampa, Florida, spending much of his time outdoors catching snakes, bass, and even the occasional alligator. Raised in a Christian home, he came to know Jesus at a young age, and over time his faith became more personal... especially through seasons of difficulty that shaped how he understands God’s grace and presence.

In high school, Trenton began leading and discipling students, which quickly became a central part of his life. Towards the end and proceeding high school, he found himself trying to figure out his future, exploring different career paths and even working as a bowfishing guide for a season. But through it all, the Lord continued to redirect his steps toward ministry.

That journey eventually led him to Bible college and into ministry with Summit Ministries, where he helped students think through their faith and learn how to engage the world with truth and confidence. That experience deepened his passion for discipleship and investing in the next generation.

Trenton has also walked through difficult and defining seasons personally, experiencing loss and hardship that have shaped his heart and perspective. Those moments have given him a deeper empathy for people and a desire to walk with others through both the highs and lows of life, always pointing them back to Jesus.

His heart is to help students grow in their faith, know Scripture, and live it out in a real and practical way. What began as a childhood spent chasing fish and adventure has grown into a calling to be a fisher of men; help others come to know and follow Christ.

He’s grateful to be part of Collision Ministries and excited to continue investing in students and building relationships that point people to Jesus.
