EXECUTIVE PASTOR CHELLY EDMUND
A breath of “fresh” anointing is perhaps the best way to describe the heaven-sent ministry of Pastor Chelly Edmund. Pastor Chelly has served the body of Christ as an inspiring psalmist with two CD releases to her credit. She has served the body of Christ as an inspiring psalmist both in England and in the United States. Her CD title releases a song called: “Remember” and another song called: “Waiting”; both are wonderful collections of praise, worship, and celebratory music that fill the listener with a keen awareness and desire to find entrance into the presence of God.
To hear Pastor Chelly minister the Word in song is to know that what she shares is much more than musical or lyrical; it is simply spiritual! The music and word that God creates through her is influenced and ignited by the Holy Spirit to inspire hearts and minds to enter worship. She has traveled in Europe, the east and west coast of the United States musically, and now preaches the Gospel with integrity, power and conviction.
As Executive Pastor, she serves with her husband, Bishop PJ Edmund, in the vision of Timbrel Church International; she oversees a Council which serves several ministries, inclusive of the SALT Youth and Young Adult and Music Ministries.
Executive Pastor Chelly has been married to Bishop PJ Edmund, Sr. who is a prolific preacher and teacher of the Word for over thirty-five (35) years. Together, they are the proud parents of three beautiful children, Peter John, Jr.; Brittany Chantelle, and Eryka Christine. Pastor Chelly is also blessed to be the mother-in- love of Miche’ Edmund; she adores her four grandchildren, Tyler Joel; Tayler Moriah; Talia Gabrielle, and Tymir Edmund.
Pastor Chelly cherishes the day she received the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit and relies on the anointing of God to energize the gifting of ministry.
