THE SESSION
Our form of government is presbyterian in nature; or, in other words, our church is governed by elders. Presbyterian comes from the Greek word meaning, simply, "elder." Paul emphasized a plurality of elders in the early church (Titus 1:5; Acts 20:17). An elder is a biblically qualified man who has been nominated, trained, examined, and ordained to oversee the affairs of the church. The Bible gives explicit qualifications for such men (1 Tim. 3:1-7).
Calvary's Elders:
Steve Carter
Angel Gomez
Glenn McPherson
Andy Oliver
Pete Tyson
The Deacon Board
The Deacon Board is made up of men called by the congregation and ordained to the office of Deacon and women who have been commissioned to work alongside the deacons. The ministry of the Deacon Board is primarily concerned with the needs of church members and the physical property of the church.

Our History
Calvary Presbyterian Church began in 1936, and through the years, God truly has been faithful to us! Hundreds of people have been brought to Christ. Scores of missionaries and seminary students have worshiped here. Many of her sons and daughters have entered full-time Christian ministry, and many others have taken the love and truth of Christ into their various vocations and spheres of influence with courage and great fruitfulness. As our story of life together as a Body continues, we look to the past only to fuel our gratitude, while we look forward with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.
