Eric Cartier – Senior Pastor (ext. 104) I realized at a young age that the Lord was calling me to reach those without Christ. Through teachings at Applegate Christian Fellowship and Calvary Bible College, God began to equip me for a life of ministry. In March 2000, I accepted a permanent position with Rocky Mountain Calvary that grew into overseeing and ministering to both teenagers and young adults. After five years of service, I was offered the position of senior pastor. I believe the Lord’s house should be one of prayer and that the Bible should be taught verse-by-verse. This allows God’s word to challenge and encourage us to walk in obedience. My desire is to lead by example, to be a disciple and make disciples, and to share God’s loving kindness. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Amber, for 10+ years and we have three daughters, Hannah, Adelyn, and Ileanne. |

Robert Beech – Assistant Pastor (ext. 105) I came on staff as Rocky Mountain Calvary’s Children’s Ministry director in 1996. In 1998 I became the assistant pastor. I oversee most of the day-to-day operations of RMC and work closely with Pastor Eric Cartier to provide oversight to the Ministerial Staff. My wife Lisa serves in Women’s Ministry and we have two children, Lauren and Robby. |

Linda Cosco – Senior Pastor’s Assistant (ext. 103) I began attending Rocky Mountain Calvary in March of 1993 and came on staff September 1996.

I am assured that with God all things are possible…. I serve with my husband, Jim, and we have 2 grown boys, Keith and Kevin. |

Bob Guevara – Pastoral Care and Counseling (ext. 135) I have attended Rocky Mountain Calvary since late 1997. I have witnessed the Lord doing many great things in my life and in this fellowship through His abundant grace. My desire is to see God’s people know and rely on His love for us; to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; to grow to maturity in Christ Jesus; and to walk in the good works that God has prepared beforehand for us. My wife, Terri, and I have been married 35+ years. We have four adult children and one beautiful granddaughter. |

Matt Patterson – Pastoral Care and Counseling (ext. 133) I felt a call on my life for ministry while in college. After finishing my degree in Behavioral Science, I went into student development work, construction work, and then on to computers. About 10 years after my initial calling, God called me to serve full time at Rocky Mountain Calvary. For those who might think “What the heck is God doing with my life?”, be patient. He’ll use all of what you are going through for His divine purpose! Oh yeah, and I LOVE my awesome wife, Brandi, and 3 beautiful kids, Elli, Ryan, and Molly. I treasure God’s blessing of family. |

Steve Sprenger – Pastoral Care and Counseling (ext. 108) After a lifetime of believing I was a good person, by God’s grace I opened the Bible and was pierced by His Truth. I received Christ in 2002.

Kent Nolley – Missions Pastor (ext. 111) Since I became a Christian, my heart has been stirred to share the Gospel with all people and to teach and lead them in the Word. I separated from active duty Air Force in 2008 and began serving the body at Rocky Mountain Calvary as missions pastor. My desire is to see people come to Christ, locally and internationally. Training and equipping people in God’s commission is a great joy and I find myself extremely blessed to be the missions pastor of this church. |

Ryan Bailey – Missions Assistant (ext. 127) A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps – Prov. 16:9. This verse really came to life in how the Lord brought me on staff at Rocky Mountain Calvary. I was in the midst of returning to Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe when the Lord closed the door and brought me here to the missions department. Being able to serve the Lord in a full time ministry has always been a desire of mine. It’s been such a blessing to be part of reaching out to the lost and equipping the body both locally and internationally. |

Donna Graham – Women of Calvary Director (ext. 109) Since moving to the Springs six years ago, it has been my honor and joy to serve the Lord at Rocky Mountain Calvary–especially meeting with the Women of Calvary each week as we grow together in the Lord, discovering the height and depth and breadth of His love. It’s a joyous thing to see women take hold of God’s promises. I am constantly overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord; He is so gracious and kind! “The love of Christ constrains me…” 2 Cor. 5:14 |
 |
Lynda Rosenhahn – Women of Calvary Assistant (ext. 109) Our family’s roots have been with Rocky Mountain Calvary for many years. My husband and I have raised our three boys here. It’s been great to be part of this fellowship and to now spend my days in the office of Women of Calvary. The core vision of women’s ministry is to strengthen ladies in their walk with the Lord and provide a place of rich “Titus 2″ teaching and fellowship. |
 |
James Borja – Youth Director/College and Career (ext. 115) I grew up and lived in Southern California all my life until I was led by the Lord to Colorado in 2004. God has been faithful and merciful to me and my family. I love serving Jesus in any way. I only wish Colorado had a beach. Other than that it’s a pretty cool place to serve Jesus. |
 |
Erik Galloway – Junior High Pastor (ext. 134) I’m a messed up person telling other messed up people about The Only One who is not messed up: Jesus Christ. My passion is to REACH people with the love and good news of Christ, to help SHAPE their thoughts and lives around Christ, and TRAIN people how to serve Christ. In the words of Nacho, “Pretty dang exciting…” |

It is my hope that through music and through worshipping our God, people would come to know Him as the True Author of every “new song”. What a privilege to serve Him. |
 |
John Mark Haller – Sound Engineer (ext. 120) The door opened in 2001 for me to join the staff at Rocky Mountain Calvary and I’ve been blessed to see the Lord grow this ministry. I also know that, as His servant, I am being used to reach the multitudes for Christ. |

I love to ride motorcycles, counsel women, and lead Bible studies. |

Melissa Kirchner – Wedding and Funeral Coordinator (ext. 125) “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.”-Rom. 12:15 Being the Wedding and Funeral Coordinator, I get to be a part of the happiest or saddest time of a person’s life. Each event begins a new chapter, learning to live with the person you love or having to go on without the person you have loved. It is an awesome privilege to share God’s heart with those in either situation. |
