Shelly Nall

Community Life Pastor

Shelly Nall serves as Community Life Pastor at First United Methodist Church of Blue Springs. She joined the team in 2023 to lead Next Gen and now helps the whole church grow in connection and care—cultivating groups, hospitality, and pastoral care. With 20+ years of ministry experience (and a background in nursing), Shelly brings steady compassion and creative energy to every room. A consultant and world-traveling orphan advocate, she is currently studying at Saint Paul School of Theology. Her favorite titles remain Mom and Bram—Shelly and her husband, Chris, delight in their big, beautifully diverse family of eight kids and three grandkids. Her heartbeat is simple: people matter, and Jesus loves every single one.
