Pastor Nicole T. Stelly

Nicole T. Stelly, Pastor of The A.R.M.E.D. Church in Inglewood, CA, exemplifies a life devoted to faith, family, and leadership and is the guest of the latest episode of my podcast “Won’t God Do It.”

Pastor Nicole is a dedicated wife of 11 years and a loving mother of two, balancing her family life with her profound commitment to serving her church community. Birthed into The A.R.M.E.D. Church, she was nurtured in a strong spiritual environment under the leadership of her grandmother, Supt. Victoria L. Thrash, the founding Pastor, and her father, Dr. Robert Thrash, who served as Sr. Pastor for over 30 years. This legacy of faith and service profoundly influenced Pastor Nicole’s journey, shaping her into a dynamic preacher and passionate leader. Pastor Nicole’s leadership is deeply rooted in her unwavering faith and commitment to prayer, fervent study, and humble worship. These practices have sustained, developed, and confirmed her calling, guiding her from the background to the frontlines of The Kingdom.

With a quest for wisdom and the leading of the Holy Spirit as her strategy, Pastor Nicole aims to lead with conviction, courage, clarity, consistency, and confidence. Joining the ranks of anointed women who have proclaimed the gospel since the birth of the church, Pastor Nicole leads with compassion and an unshakable will to see God’s people grow and experience the fullness of their inheritance as His possession. Her vision for The A.R.M.E.D. Church is one of growth, spiritual fulfillment, and unwavering dedication to the work of the Lord. She embarks on this life-changing journey with this truth in mind, “Lord, this is Your kingdom. This is Your power. And this is Your glory.”
