Greg and his family began attending Calvary Baptist in 1995, following time spent in leadership with both ‘Youth With A Mission’ and ‘Teen Time.’  His initial involvement at Calvary was working with the youth ministry.  In February 1998, Greg was invited to join the Leadership Team in a full-time capacity.  At Calvary, Greg is involved in the teaching ministry, in overseeing the ministry staff and Home Groups, and in leading the mission outreach trips each summer.  A few of the things that are closest to his heart in ministry are to see people of all ages mentored and shepherded, to see the next generation become a greater generation in the kingdom of God, and to see individuals, young and old alike, participate in cross-cultural missions. Greg and his wife, Delores, have been married since 1985. With their four children and one son-in-law, they enjoy a variety of summer and winter sports activities together.

Bill met his wife Donna at Calvary while they were both teaching Sunday school back in the early 1980s.  They have a daughter, Erin, and a son, Thomas. Bill works in the Procurement Services Branch of the Government of Alberta and serves Calvary as an Elder on the Leadership Team and as the Treasurer. Bill’s passion for God is to meet Him every day and experience the life He has created for him.  His passion for Calvary isn’t much different, except it is on a “corporate” scale, to meet Him every time we are together and experience the life He has created for us as a group of believers.

Malcolm and his wife Krista started attending Calvary in 1998 on the recommendation that they would love “all the kids.” 18 years later and they are still enjoying all the kids, and the adults too! Malcolm and Krista are excited to see the growth of Calvary over the years, not only in numbers but also in relation to God and one another. They love the relationships that have sustained them, enriched them and challenged them to growth in Christ. Malcolm’s heart is to see inter-generational relationships develop that are centred on God and His son, Jesus Christ, for the benefit of the whole church and the glory of God. Malcolm is inspired by Hebrews 10:24-25, to see the church become a place of relational authenticity and genuine service to God and community.

Neil and his wife Sandy have been attending Calvary since 2011. They had been seeking a new church home for two years and, at the recommendation of a close friend, attended a worship service at Calvary. That experience led them to call Calvary their new church home. Neil and Sandy have been involved in home groups, and served as greeters. Neil has participated on the teaching team. They are thrilled by the vibrant spiritual life of the church, the diversity of the demographics at Calvary and the capacity for the congregation to embrace this diversity. Neil and Sandy have two adult sons and two grandchildren. Neil work as the Regional Manager for a national industry association, working with their member companies in Alberta and Saskatchewan to promote the use of steel in construction. He has worked in a variety of leadership roles in his career and brings those leadership skills to the church. Neil and Sandy desire to contribute to the spiritual growth and health of the Calvary Baptist Church family.

Michael has been attending Calvary since 2001 after being hugged twice the first time through the door.  Over that time he has loved being involved with youth, worship, mentorship, small groups and the teaching team.  He luckily met Cara at Calvary, wisely married her, and they are now raising 3 young children together.

Mike’s heart for the church is to encourage her to fix her eyes to Jesus, to know and experience the goodness of his love.

Mike’s favorite verse is always changing, depending where he’s reading this week.  But one that is always sure to draw his eyes to a good God who is faithful.

Brennan started attending Calvary Baptist Church in 2010 while searching for a church with a thriving and authentic young adult community. He found that, but he also discovered a church that was engaged and took ownership over how community was lived out. Brennan met his wife Melanie at Calvary, who was serving as a worship intern at the time. They attend with their two (soon three) children. Brennan is a Registered Nurse working at Grey Nuns Emergency. Brennan’s desire for Calvary is that we would continue to grow as an engaged community, always listening to how God is leading us. Brennan’s theme verse is Isaiah 40:31 which reminds us of our dependence on God, both individually and corporately.

Matt started his ministry at Calvary in 2008. He and his wife, Erin, and their sons, Henry and Jack, have loved growing with the community of young adults (Calvary YA) and the greater community of Calvary. They believe in a community that cultivates real relationships, enjoys life (and eating!) together, and learns and grows together on their faith journey. Matt graduated from Taylor University (Edmonton, AB, B.A.) in 2008, and completed his Arrow Leadership Training in 2014. He loves playing sports with his boys, perusing local events, training for his yearly half-marathon, and hosting friends and family with a great cup of coffee.

Jill is the newest member of the Calvary staff team.  Both she and her husband, Graham, grew up in the Edmonton area.  After they married, they left for an eastern Canada adventure that lasted 5 years.  They returned to Edmonton so Jill could go to law school and so they both could be closer to their parents.  Although Jill’s time as a lawyer was incredibly positive, she always felt that God had other plans for her.  In 2013, she responded to God’s call on her life and left her legal practice to become a pastor.  Jill aspires to use her many years of musical training and the leadership skills she acquired as a lawyer to help create spaces where people can meet with Jesus.  She is excited to be part of the staff team at Calvary and to be a part of a church family that wants more of Jesus!  Jill loves dogs, going out with friends for coffee and helping out at her son’s school.  When Jill isn’t singing, playing the piano or working at the church, you can find her at the downtown Edmonton market with her husband, their high-energy son and their even-higher-energy Boston Terrier.

Mike has worked with youth since 2011 and has been doing intensive work with the students here at Calvary since 2014. He graduated from Vanguard College in January 2018, where he received a Bachelors in Theology degree with an emphasis in Youth Ministry. Michael grew up in small-town Ontario where he enjoyed sports and playing the cello. He is very excited to be working with Calvary’s youth, building relationships with them and creating an environment where friendships and growth in Christ can exist and thrive.

Erin and her husband, Jordan, have been attending Calvary since 2009. They are so grateful to be raising their three kids in this caring community. After bible college, Erin completed a political science degree and spent many years working for the Legislative Assembly. While attending Calvary, Erin served with Jordan on the leadership team for six years before she felt Jesus lead her into creating a new kind of children’s ministry at Calvary which recognizes the importance of our children and leads us into a fuller expression of the body of Christ. Erin loves creating space for people to encounter Jesus together and is so thankful to be a part of a church that values walking in grace and community. Erin loves time with her family and friends, hanging out with their neighbourhood, following politics, and spending time creating with her kids.

Sandra began attending Calvary in the Summer of 2010 when she moved to Edmonton to begin studies at The King’s University. What drew her to Calvary and what continues to be her favourite thing about Calvary is intentional community building, both within the walls of Calvary and outside of Calvary’s doors and into the rest of the world. Sandra graduated from King’s in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Communication Arts and Theology. She took a post-grad internship semester through the Laurentian Leadership Centre of Trinity Western University in Ottawa. Interning with Ottawa Life Magazine allowed her to further explore her interests in Journalism and the Communication industry. Vocationally, she now works as a High School Representative for the Art Institute of Vancouver recruiting locally in and around the Edmonton area. Sandra began as the Administrative Assistant for Calvary in September 2015. She enjoys being involved in this capacity and looks forward to seeing Calvary continue to grow and flourish.
