Kelly Moore Coalter, beloved wife, mother, Mia, sister, and friend, went home to be with her Lord on Sunday, February 2, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in 1959 to Bob and Rene Moore in Rapid City, South Dakota, Kelly embraced life with joy, cherished people deeply, and found great fulfillment in serving God by serving others.
She was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her devoted husband of 45 years, Tim Coalter; daughters, Amber Williams (Jason) and Robyn Vernon (Chris); son, Corey Coalter; eight treasured grandchildren; her sister, Vickie Morgan (Joe); along with a number of cousins, an aunt, an uncle, nieces and nephews.
Kelly dedicated her life to ministry alongside her husband, who served as a national evangelist shortly after their marriage, in pastoral ministry for 28 years, as state administrative bishop of South Carolina, and for five and a half years in the North America General Presbyters Office. In 2022, Kelly’s ministry and influence continued to expand upon the selection of her husband as presiding bishop of the Church of God of Prophecy. She served the Office of the Presiding Bishop as an administrative assistant, and supported her husband as an intercessor, counselor, and confidant. She endeared herself to those she encountered in ministry, whether in the United States or around the world in places like Nigeria, India, and the Bahamas.
Through each role, Kelly made every encounter personal—she took a genuine interest in those she met, listening with care and offering words of encouragement, challenge, or blessing. Her warmth, faith, and love for Christ shone through in every conversation, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives. In the years before her illness, Kelly devoted herself to caring for her mother, demonstrating the same selfless love and compassion that defined every aspect of her life.
Kelly’s personal motto, “Reflect the heart of Jesus in everything you do,” was more than a phrase—it was how she lived. As tributes pour in from around the world, the global church joins in mourning her loss, remembering the impact she had on so many lives. It is apparent she was known for her radiant smile, deep kindness, and ability to find beauty in everyday moments. During the final months of her brief but intense health battle, Kelly modeled what she would often repeat, “You can’t have faith and fear in the same sentence.” She faced each day with courage and trust in God’s plan.
A celebration of Kelly’s life will be officiated by Pastor Darren Schalk, Bishop Duke Stone, and Bishop George McLaughlin on Friday, February 7, at 11:00 a.m. ET at the Peerless Road Church of God of Prophecy, 3301 Peerless Road NW, Cleveland, Tennessee. The family will receive visitors on Thursday, February 6, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and again on Friday, February 7, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. The family will gather for a private graveside committal following the service.
Pallbearers include family members Jason Williams, Jacob Williams, Chris Vernon, Joe Morgan, Blaine Morgan, and Stephen Stone. The memorial service will be live-streamed on the Church of God of Prophecy (Official) Facebook page. Arrangements are being organized by Jim Rush Funeral Homes.
