Dr. L.C. Kelly (1874-1955) was born April 18, 1874 in Choctaw, Alabama to Solomon and Sarah (Felt) Kelly. He became a Southern Baptist Preacher at the age of 20, as he furthered his education he pastored many small country churches. He earned a four-year degree at Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky. Moving to Louisville, Kentucky at the turn of the twentieth century he became the editor of the Kentucky Issue the Louisville Local newspaper. In 1907 he and Nancy Newland married in Stanford, Kentucky at her father's home. In 1908 Rev. Kelley and his bride moved to Orlinda, Tennessee to take the pastorate at Orlinda Baptist Church. Here Lloyd and Nancy began their family. He and Orlinda Baptist Church started an annual Bible Institution in 1908.
After 1910 the family moved to Taylor County Kentucky where Kelly began working with the Russell Creek Association of Baptist. The association ran an academy called Russell Creek Academy, which went into finical distress in 1908. Kelly aided in its reopening the school in 1914, and in 1916 began holding higher education classes. Within ten more years, by 1924, it became Campbellsville Junior College, now known as Campbellsville University. In 1919 Rev. Kelley took the pastorate of First Baptist Church in Pineville, Kentucky. He had been preaching for 25 years by that point. He led prohibition rallies and preached passionately against alcohol. In 1924 while walking the L&N railway through a pre-civil war tunnel crossing creeks and mountains the voice of God came clear to him.
