Calvary Church has been home to Katie since she was kid and she continues to be wowed by the way God works in the lives of His people! Katie is married to her farming husband, Aaron, and they have four busy, inquisitive, and incredibly special boys – Austin, Ben, Cody, and Drew. Katie is grateful to spend much of her time caring for her family, working part-time at Touchmark retirement community, and volunteering to serve as Calvary’s Children’s Ministry Director. She also likes to work in the garden, play games & sports of all kinds, and share a cup of coffee with a friend. In her years at Calvary, she has had the opportunity to work with just about every age and gets excited about helping lead kids and families toward Jesus and the never-giving-up, always and forever love He has for them!

Christina has called Fargo/Moorhead home since 1999 while attending Minnesota State University Moorhead. It was there that she met her husband, Scott. After college, she taught science at Park Christian School and coached swimming at MSUM. For the past few years she has had the privilege to be a stay at home mom to her 4 busy and very blonde children – Sadie, Lily, Logan and Claire. She loves to spend time with family and friends, relax at the lake, and connect over a good cup of coffee. Christina is excited to combine her passion for teaching and her love of Jesus, by helping women dig into the Bible to seek the heart of the God we serve and pursue Jesus together.

Leadership
We believe that the local church is to be led by a group of godly men (cf. Acts 20:17, 28; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; James 5:14-15). The Elders are responsible to oversee and care for the church (1 Pet. 5:1-4). The Pastor serves full time as an Elder.
Our Elders are: Lenny Leucke, Scott Wavrin, Vince Dicks, Aaron Carlson, Myron Martinson.
