Our Team
Calvary is an elder led congregation whose primary functions are to lead God’s people in pursuing Christ, equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and as under-shepherds caring for and feeding God’s flock.
Matthew Lim, Pastor
Matt provides the bulk of the teaching and carries out much of the pastoral duties of the church. Calvary is blessed, however, with godly men who love God’s Word and share in these duties as well. In addition, Calvary is matured as each member exercises the gifting God has bestowed upon him or her. Matt and his wife Kellie have been blessed to serve at Calvary since the fall of 1993. They have two married children living on opposite sides of the nation as well as seven grandchildren.
Isaac Stanley, Associate Pastor
Isaac leads in multiple areas of ministry at Calvary, including worship, teaching, pulpit sharing and one on one discipleship. Angie is involved in the regular affairs of the church, is in leadership with our Mothers of Hot Springs ministry and accompanies on the keyboards during our worship. Isaac and Angie are a blessing to the body of Christ as they sacrificially serve and actively open their homes and their lives to the saints. Isaac and Angie have four children, Talitha, Ezra, Obadiah, and Titus.
Gale Coleman, Elder
Gale and his wife Sheri have been a part of Calvary for over forty years and have, throughout those years served with sacrifice, love and faithfulness. Gale’s love for God’s Word is evident as he shares in the teaching of the Scriptures and lends godly wisdom and counsel among the elders and to the body. Sheri actively serves in various ministries including ladies studies. The Colemans have two married children and six grandchildren who live in South Dakota.
Pat Campbell, Elder
Pat lends spiritual counsel and care for the health of the congregation and oversees the work of the deacons. He teaches the scriptures each week to our youth and lends ministers one on one with various men. Liz serves as our Director of Children’s ministries and serves the body in assorted ways. Pat and Liz have four teenage children, Suzanna, Emily, Seann, and Tristan.
Matt Tramp, Elder
Matt offers biblical insight and commits himself to one on one discipleship for the health of the church. Matt and Liz lead our student ministry, coming along side moms and dads to teach and mentor young people in their walk and ministry in Christ. Liz oversees the Little Lambs ministry, where our children are taught weekly what it means to be a Christian. Matt and Liz are given to hospitality, welcoming many into their lives. Matt and Liz have three children, Amos, Shiloh and Zane.
Deacons
Curtis Smith
Curtis and his wife Kendra find joy in caring for our church facilities. Much more, they actively serve in the care of God’s people, loving them and ministering in assorted ways.
