Ministry Team

Our 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, 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 in the fellowship, especially giving encouragement to the downtrodden. Ted and Cheryl have three children: Stephen, Isaac, and Anna.

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.

Both have been a part of outreach trips throughout the world and are excited to be a part of what God is doing to make disciples in all nations.

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. They quickly began to serve in various ministries and in 2017, Marco took over as lead pastor of the Spanish ministry. 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: Marco, Ebony, Isaiah, Samuel, Santiago, and Matteo.

They have been blessed with three daughters, Mira, Mercy and Rada.  

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.
