Pastor Brian and Cara Salley

 

I was born and raised in Northwest Louisiana. I gave my heart to Jesus at the age of thirteen. Four years later, when I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and was miraculously delivered from alcohol, I found the power to live the victorious Christian life. Over the next few months, the Lord began to show me that His purpose for my life was to go into ministry. In 1997, I began attending Rhema Bible Training Center. In January of 1999, I met the love of my life, Cara, and we were married two years later, in December of 2000. Cara was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. At the age of 16, she heard the gospel message for the first time, and received Jesus as her Lord and savior. She was filled with the Holy Ghost one year later, and knew very quickly that she was called to spend her life sharing the Love of Christ with the world. She also moved to Tulsa, OK to attend Rhema in 1997. Cara graduated from Rhema in 2000 with a major in Evangelism, and I graduated from Rhema in 2001 with a degree in Children’s Ministry. From there, we set out to Dothan, Alabama for our first full time ministry opportunity. We served under Pastor Bobby and Stephanie Marks for the next 4 years, where we gained great insight into the real life ministry of a local church. While in Dothan, we had our son, Brian “Darrin” Salley, who we consider to be a joy, a delight, and a great addition to the Salley family. At that time, we had it on our hearts to step into traveling ministry, so we moved to Springfield Missouri, where we began Salley Ministries  with a thrust toward building up Helps ministries and leadership in the church. Shortly after arriving in Springfield, the Lord started to change our heart and place in us the heart of a pastor. For the next two years, while we traveled and served as leadership in our local church, God prepared us for the step of becoming pastors of Cornerstone Life Church in Foley, Alabama. We look forward to the opportunity to serve Foley and the surrounding region with the life, the power, and the Word of God!
