Sean Rafferty
Leadership Pastor – Director of E4life Gap Year Program

I have been pastoring within Calvary Chapel for over 25 years. My wife Lisa and I have had the incredible privilege of traveling to over 30 countries leading teams and sharing the gospel with the hurting and the lost. We have four lovely daughters. I was also a church planter for 7 years, pioneering a new work in Chihuahua, Mexico. I returned from the mission field in 2014 to fill a pastoral role here at RMC. It has been my privilege to serve as Executive Director for our E4life Gap Year program since 2021.

After seeking my own glory for years and only finding misery, the Lord got a hold of me in 1998. Since then He has given me the privilege of serving Him. My wife Athena and I have been married since 2007 and have six grown kids. We have been attending RMC since 2018 when we moved to Colorado Springs. I have been through School of Discipleship and School of Ministry, and I’m honored to serve on staff now.

Just an ordinary guy serving an extraordinary God and Savior. Started attending RMC in 2000 where I met my wife, Beth. Together we are dedicated to teaching and inspiring the next generation to know, love, and follow Jesus.

Billy Dimirra
Worship Pastor (ext. 4702)

For most of my life my family has been really involved in Church and serving the Lord, but it wasn’t until I was in High School that God became real to me. After getting saved, I attended Oceans Edge School of Worship in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and graduated in 2011. Since then I’ve been involved with a couple different churches leading worship in various capacities. I’m grateful and humbled at the opportunity the Lord has provided for my wife, Laura, and I to move to Colorado and be a part of what God is doing here at RMC.

Jenna Crenshaw

Connection within community through Christ.  Upon moving to Colorado in February 2017, the Lord captured my attention with this vision and has filled my heart to overflowing for the Women of Calvary.  Together with my husband, Rob, our daughter, Monterey, and my mom, Mary Kay, our family finds great joy in attending and serving at RMC.  May God continue to use the testimony He is working out in our lives to minister as we are called.

Christi Meany

Senior Pastor Assistant & Special Events Coordinator (ext. 4720)

Hi! I am incredibly thankful for this amazing and blessed life God has given me. I grew up knowing about God but turned away from Him for many years. He slowly drew me back to Him and I started attending RMC in 2018. I never imagined myself working at a church but I am grateful for the privilege of working here. I find immense fulfillment in serving the body of Christ and using my God-given gifts & talents for His kingdom.

Kellyn Waters
Missions Admin Assistant (ext. 4726)

In 2016, God called me to Birmingham, England where I worked for an outreach theatre company that wrote and performed faith-based shows for schools and churches all over the UK. It was then that I realized I really loved telling others all over the world about Jesus. In 2018, I was called back home to Colorado Springs and started attending RMC, where I met my husband Matt. I began working in the Children’s Ministry in 2019 and switched to the Missions department in July of 2021. I am so excited to get to work in both local and international missions again!

Ali Zamora
Women’s Ministry Admin Assistant (ext. 4724)

I began attending RMC just before the pandemic, and during that time Jesus really became the Lord of my life. In 2021 I began School of Discipleship and then School of Ministry, which led to my heart being on fire for ministry. I love being able to serve the women of the church through WOC and pouring into the lives of our young adults. My husband, Andrew, and I were blessed to be married in 2022, and our family loves having RMC as our home church.

Gissel Morris
Pastoral Care Admin Assistant (ext. 4713)

God got a hold of my life when my family and I moved to Colorado during my freshman year of high school. After high school, the Lord called me to the School of Discipleship, during which, He opened the door for me to work here. I also met my husband, Aaron, at RMC and it is such a blessing to work alongside him; I love getting to be a part of the mission and ministry at RMC.

I started volunteering in the High School Ministry in 2020 and became a student of RMC’s School of Discipleship in 2022. I came on staff in 2023 and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to use the gifts God has given me to glorify Him and serve His church. My mission is to share the hope of Christ with the next generation as they search for truth, purpose, and identity. My joy is watching Him do incredible things in and through the students as they discover their calling and follow Him with all their hearts.

Josiah Wuthier
Children’s Ministry Assistant (ext. 4733)

I believed in Jesus at a young age, but still had plenty of sin in my life growing up. Over the years God has been doing a sanctifying work in me through various trials. I’m His work in progress. I was drawn to RMC late 2021 because of the verse by verse teaching of the Bible, and have been here ever since!

Lesa Wright
Preschool Director (ext. 4735)

God has truly blessed me to be able to work alongside our Children’s Ministry team. I am encouraged and blessed when I see families bring their children to church. I love to see them come to church with such enthusiasm to learn about Jesus. I want them to know the One True Living God who created the world, performed miracles, to learn about Jesus and to know how much He loves them. It is a joy and honor to serve in the Preschool Department. My husband and I have been married for 31 years. We have been blessed with 6 adult children and 2 sweet granddaughters.
