Born on October 25 at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, Minister Kay is the cherished daughter of Prophetess Dr. Sabrina Kay (Fludd) Bailey and her bonus father, Minister Mark Bailey Sr. Raised in a military household, she was educated across the globe, learning the value of adaptability, cultural diversity, and discipline. She completed her secondary education with honors through the York County School Division at Bruton High School in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Though she earned certifications in Medical Billing & Coding and Medical Administrative Assisting, Kay’s most enduring calling has always been ministry. From a young age, she was nurtured in a home where the presence of God was both felt and followed. She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior in Savannah, Georgia, during her formative years at Gospel Temple Church of God in Christ—a pivotal moment that ignited a lifelong passion for prayer, service, and spiritual growth.
Today, Minister Kay McFarland serves faithfully as the Youth Minister at Wholistic Life Ministries in Kennesaw, Georgia, under the pastoral leadership of Dr. John “Jay” Jones. Her role in ministry is not limited to a title; it is a lifestyle. She has poured into the church in a multitude of ways, including but not limited to:
Her multifaceted involvement demonstrates her belief that no task in the Kingdom is too small and that every act of service is an opportunity to reflect the love of Christ.
Minister Kay was officially licensed to preach the Gospel on June 23, 2019, through Unity Christian Fellowship International (UCFI) Ministries Inc. Her licensure marked a public affirmation of the call she had long accepted in her heart—a call to teach, intercede, worship, and lead others into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.
Her ministry is deeply relational. Whether speaking into the lives of young people, preparing a heartfelt meal, or lifting her voice in worship, Minister Kay ministers with humility, joy, and genuine love. She carries a maternal spirit and is known for being approachable, dependable, and deeply rooted in prayer.
She is also blessed to walk out her calling alongside her beloved husband, Minister Richard McFarland, with whom she shares a beautiful partnership in life and ministry. Together, they are raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, building a legacy of faith for generations to come.
To her family, she is more than a minister—she is a trustworthy sister, a nurturing niece, a dependable cousin, and a cherished TaTi (auntie) whose presence brings peace and laughter. But above all, to the Kingdom of God, Minister Kay McFarland is a faithful servant, a rising voice of wisdom and grace, and a living testimony that when God calls, He also equips.
She continues to walk boldly in her calling, embracing her God-given identity and purpose—to love, to serve, to lead, and to glorify God in every area of her life.
