Kelly Cane, Administrator

Kelly was born on November 7th, 1963 in Auburn Washington. Her Dad worked for the Boeing Company, and the family moved so often they owned their own moving van! They had to get rid of the moving van when they moved to Taiwan in 1980. It was in Taiwan that Kelly formed her first “ideas” about God. Her younger (and only) brother, Mike, became a Christian while he was in high school. That's when Kelly decided she would be an atheist.

After graduating from Taipei American School in 1982, Kelly left her family and moved back to the United States. She started college at Green River Community College, later transferring to the University of Washington, where she received a BA in Psychology. She also has a distant memory of a college class that brought the bible into question. Of course, at this point, she still hadn't actually READ any of the Bible, but she liked having ammunition to support her atheistic non-belief system.

In 1989, Kelly met David Cane, and they were married in June of 1991. They spent the early married years traveling extensively and enjoying every minute of it. But that paled in comparison to the birth of their first child, Derek, in 1995. That's when Kelly decided that, even though she loved her job in the travel industry, she couldn't go back to work. With the birth their daughter, Chloe, in June of 1997, they outgrew their little house in Seattle and moved to Puyallup. It was in Puyallup that Kelly stayed at home to raise her kids, as well as the whole neighborhood, and earned the beloved nickname “popsicle mom”.

Children really brought the idea of “God” to the forefront. And even though many had tried, it was through the patient guidance of a very bible smart ex-con that Kelly first started to feel God's tug. Searching for a church was a story in itself. However, God brought her to the doors of High Pointe Community Church at one of its first services, and she was baptized about a year later.
