Brother Griffitts was raised in the Dayton, Ohio area. He grew up at Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church under Pastor B.D. Sutherland. Bro. Austin & Sis. Kelli met while attending a church youth rally in Hamilton, Ohio. From there they developed a relationship & began officially dating in the fall of 2012. Sis. Kelli grew up in Vanceburg, Ky and attended the Vanceburg Holiness Church where her father, Curtis Cordle has pastored since 1998.

 

In January of 2013 Austin & Kelli were engaged and married on June 1, 2013. They then attended Vanceburg Holiness Church & called Vanceburg home for the next almost 12 years. They welcomed their daughter, Kaileigh in 2016. Austin was also called to preach in the fall of 2016. Their first son, Kace arrived in 2018. The Lord dealt with the Griffitts family to step out into full time ministry & in the summer of 2019 they began their journey on the road as evangelists to the Independent Holiness movement. Their twins, Zane & Zion arrived in April of 2020 and their youngest son, Noah was born in 2021. They traveled for 5 1/2 years preaching and singing, making so many friends and memories along the way. 

 

As of January 2025, the Griffitts family now calls Open Praise Fellowship Holiness Church home as our Pastor. They are excited to see what Gods going to do in this next chapter of their lives and ministry.
