Growing up as a 6th generation resident of Baton Rouge, Kelly Heroman Wood quickly learned how to answer two recurring questions: “Heroman! Now, are you related to . . . ?” and the ever popular, “Where’d you get that red hair?!?” She earned dual business degrees in Human Resources and Information Systems from LSU before leaving home to pursue a career at ExxonMobil.
In her current role as Ministry Executive for First Presbyterian, Kelly’s desire is to prayerfully turn the vision for the church into strategy and action. She considers it a distinct blessing to work with each of our ministries, bringing her corporate experience to serve in ministry matters.
Kelly loves working in teams and helping people grow in their gifting. She finds peace in contemplative prayer and good fiction. She enjoys traveling, playing games, walking with friends, and spending time with her family. Kelly and her husband John have two teenaged children, Lucy Bea and John Isaac.
