Ministry Team

Senior Pastor Ted Ethridge and his wife, Cheryl, have been serving at CC Bozeman since 1997. Together they served the youth for four-plus years, and in 2002, Ted stepped into the role of senior pastor. His passion is to teach God's Word verse-by-verse so that the church grows in their knowledge of Christ and becomes more like Jesus. Ted also has a heart for evangelism and missions and has been privileged to lead teams from CCB to India, Turkey, and other countries throughout the years. Cheryl leads the women’s ministry at Calvary and loves to disciple women, especially giving encouragement to the downtrodden. Ted and Cheryl have one married son and two teenagers at home.

Pastor John is our longest tenured associate pastor and has served in multiple ways at CC Bozeman.  John and his wife Michelle met at Calvary Chapel Bible College and have been serving the body here since 2004. They served in our youth ministry for several years and transitioned to other areas as the church has grown. John currently co-leads our worship ministry and also helps in the teaching ministry at Calvary. In addition, he serves as an administrator overseeing various ministry leaders and the day-to-day affairs of the church. Michelle is also a faithful encourager in the body and spends much of her time caring for and homeschooling  their four children.

Dennis and Joni have been an integral part of CC Bozeman since 2007 where the Lord has used them as a godly example of Christian living within the body.  Joni serves in various ministries touching lives and discipling women as the Lord opens opportunities. Dennis and Joni came to Christ shortly after their they were married in 1983 and have continued to grow in their walk with Jesus, impacting many lives in the Gallatin Valley during their years here.

Marco became the lead pastor of the  Spanish ministry in 2017.  Marco and Susana came to Christ just before they were married in 2005. After they moved to Bozeman and began attending Calvary Chapel in 2009, the Lord did a brand new work in their hearts as they began to grow under verse-by-verse Bible teaching and meeting other believers desiring to grow in Christ.  He and Susana open their home weekly for bible study in addition to leading Sunday services. The Lord has blessed the Najeras with six children.

Will and Svetlana lead our Youth Ministry. While serving the Lord overseas, Will met his wife Svetlana in Russia and the two were married in 2015. After serving the youth at Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg, the Darlings moved to Will's childhood hometown of Bozeman in 2018 and began attending Calvary Chapel. They quickly began serving in various ministries and have been leading our youth group since 2020. Will and Svetlana bring a lot of joy and energy to the fellowship and are loved by the youth! They have been blessed with three daughters.

Tim and Andrea began leading our Wednesday evening kid's program in 2018 and in 2023 Tim stepped in as our overall Kid's Ministry Director. Tim and Andrea first started attending Calvary Chapel in 2010 and have been serving in the body ever since. Both Tim and Andrea were raised in Christian homes but it was in college that the Lord got ahold of their hearts. Since then, they both have had a zeal to serve Christ and love His people. After college, Tim served full-time with Cru and now also cares for the body as one of our elders. Tim and Andrea were married on Valentine's Day 2009 and have been blessed with three children.

Kam is our administrative assistant and is a big support in the day-to-day operations of the church. She also comes alongside Cheryl as a leader in the women's ministry where she teaches the weekly evening study. The Lord has used Kam's gifting and availability to meet many needs in the fellowship. Tony and Kam were married in 2007 and began attending CC Bozeman in 2015 where they have become an instrumental part of the body here. Tony has a big heart for missions, traveling overseas to teach, to serve, and to supply for the needs of the saints. Tony & Kam have been blessed with two girls.

Peter came on staff in 2019 as our head of facilities and is also our resident prayer warrior! Peter began attending CC Bozeman in 2017 and after volunteering many hours in the cleaning ministry, he now leads a dedicated crew of servants, caring for the church grounds.   He can be found around the church both cleaning and intereceding for the saints alike. Peter is a huge blessing to the body at Calvary. Peter has a grown son, David, who along with his wife Gracia, are a vital part of our worship and sound ministry.
