Meet the Haleys
Who We Are
We're Chris & Kellie — Salem natives, parents of three, and the founders of Collective Church.
A Little About Us
Roots
Chris has called Salem home for 20+ years. Kellie grew up in Turner & South Salem. This isn't a project. It's personal.
Family
Parents to Julia (20), Jenna (15), and Charlie (2). Yes, we're tired. Yes, it's worth it.
The Real Us
Chris: Total nerd. Star Wars, Marvel, anime, disc golf, crime shows & hoops. Kellie: Thrift queen, incredible cook, and the one who makes everyone feel at home.
Fuel
Coffee. Energy drinks. And an unshakeable calling from God.

Why We're Doing This
Because God told us to.
But also because we remember what it feels like to not belong.
We've been the misfits.
The ones who didn't fit the mold. The ones who wondered if church was even for people like us.
We know what it's like to feel broken, messy, and unsure.
And we know what it's like on the other side. When it finally clicks and you get to authentically be you without judgment.
