Leadership

There are hundreds of people serving others here at 1010 N Tustin Ave and around the world. The men and women listed below represent a small piece of that larger picture of the body of Christ at work as they guide the ministries of Calvary Church. Whether on staff or a voluntary member of the Elder Board, all those who provide leadership for Calvary need your encouragement and prayers. (See role of Elders & process for selecting),

ELDER NOMINATIONS: The Elder Nominating Committee invites the congregation of Calvary Church to submit nominee names for the Elder Board during November. Recommendations must be made in writing and may be sent by email to or by mail to Nominating Committee, 1010 N. Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705. Church members will vote on the new elders in our Annual Meeting on Sunday, May 23, 2027.
