Dennis had served three years in the US Army (101st Airborne and 1st Special Forces), fifteen years with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, had two college degrees (AA and BA), was 34 years old, married, and had three children prior to responding by faith to the message of the gospel and making Jesus Christ both Savior and Lord of his life. He submitted his life to Christ in July 1984 and has been following hard after Christ ever since; serving in various ministries at Calvary including Men’s Ministry, High School Ministry, and Young Adult Ministry. Dennis retired as Captain from the Los Angeles County Fire Department after 32 years of service. Soon after leaving the Fire Service, he felt God’s call to full–time pastoral ministry and attended The Master's Seminary earning a M.Div. in 2005. He has three adult children who have blessed him with seven wonderful grandchildren.

Mike married his high school sweetheart Tiffany at 22 and has been married 20 years and counting. God has blessed them with 7 kids, Michael, Madison, Riley, Kyle, Dylan, Abby, and Olivia. After spending 20 years of working in the secular workplace in title Insurance and financial planning, God called Mike and his family into full–time ministry. Serving as a children’s pastor for 5 years in Orange County prepared and equipped Mike for God’s next call…Youth Pastor. Mike came on staff in September of 2014 here at Calvary Baptist Church. Partnering with parents and equipping them and their kids is Mike’s passion. Creating an engaging environment through mid–week programs, Sunday school and outreach activities for the youth are some of the ways we come alongside the parents to spur their children on to spiritual growth. Being passionate about the Lord is one of the foundations here in youth ministry and Romans 12:11 sums it up well, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” Amen!

After a 28 year career in law enforcement, Ed joined the staff at Calvary in 2004 where he oversees several ministries developed to build a sense of interdependence among those who worship here. Among Ed's greatest passions are discipling believers, seeing their personal relationship with Christ grow, and strengthening marriages on toward a “God centered, Christ exalting” one–flesh relationship that lasts a lifetime. Ed holds a degree in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible College. He and his wife, Robin, have been married for 43 years and have two adult children and six grandchildren. In his free time you will find him running, at the gym lifting, traveling, or playing with his grandchildren.

Sue has been married to Joel for 24 years and they have two children, Joshua and Emma. They love going to the beach, hiking and enjoying time with friends and family.  After working in Human Resources and Administrative Supervisor positions for Pepsi for 11 years, Sue became a stay-at-home mom to Joshua in 2001. Sue enjoyed serving in nursery care and VBS for many years, spending time nurturing little ones.  As their children began school, Joel and Sue prayed about opportunities for her to work and still have flexibility to be available for their kids. It was an amazing work of God when she was invited to join the staff at CBCHB as the Family Ministries Administrative Assistant in 2010 and the Children’s Director in 2012. Sue loves kids and has a great desire for them to know and love Jesus.
