From the Pastor

Hello from Pastor Kaleb Riley. The Lord has been so good to me and my family. I grew up going to Victory Baptist Church in Carterville IL. I was saved at the age of nine and I surrendered to the ministry when I was thirteen. I attended and graduated from Victory Baptist Bible Institute in 2020 and became Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church here in April of 2024. My wife Julie grew up in Metropolis, IL. Julie started walking to Ohio Valley Baptist church with her older sisters when she was four years old. She was saved at a church camp when she was seven. I was blessed to get to know Julie while I was helping serve under her pastor shortly after High school. We were married in 2019 and now have two sweet daughters, Lily and Isabella. We have been greatly blessed by the Lord and we desire to help others know Him. We would love to see you visit here at Emmanuel.
