Shelby Cellilli

Shelby has been a member of New Life Community Church since 2021. She is married to Pastor Thomas, and together they have two daughters- Nora and Audrey. Shelby grew up in a pastor’s family and has been serving in the church in various ways since high school. 

Shelby graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a Bachelors in Human Services and Pre-Counseling in 2018. As newlyweds, Shelby and Thomas were serving together at their church in Chicago as the Worship Director and Youth Pastor respectively. They served that church for 4 years, but have been so excited to join in the mission of God at New Life and the opportunity to serve Coralville. Shelby has a huge heart for youth and children’s ministry, and she is excited to be able to walk alongside all the young people at New Life.
