Eric Cartier
Senior Pastor

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 20+ years and we have four children, Hannah, Adelyn, Ileanne and Wyatt.

RJ McKamie
Assistant Ellicott Campus Pastor

Rocky Mountain Calvary became my church home in 2003 when I was a teenager. Many years and blessings later, God moved my young family to the eastern plains. We joyfully responded to the 2017 call for volunteers to open Ellicott Campus just minutes from our house. It was when I was asked to launch the youth ministry that God began to call me deeper. I completed School of Discipleship and School of Ministry, always eager to grow in the things of God. I am grateful for the constant support of my wife, Bekah, and our three kids, Caleb, Levi, and Chloe. It has been a tremendous blessing to serve, worship, and fellowship alongside the eastern plains community.

Tyler Kettner
Junior High Pastor (ext. 4710)

After 23 years of living to create my own glory and pretending I was a Christian, God took hold of my life, replaced my heart of stone (Ezekiel 36:26-27), and showed me that I could not do it on my own. He is the only thing worth living for and I am so thankful He continuously pursues my heart, even in defiance.  While going through RMC’s School of Discipleship and School of Ministry, God placed it on my heart to seek and serve His people through any way He leads. It is my hope and prayer that I will continue to serve any way God desires alongside my wife, Naomi, and our two kids.

Alex Fruci
Young Adults Pastor (ext. 4727)

I became a part of RMC as a young adult shortly after the Lord got a hold of my heart and I realized that He is wholly worthy of my entire life and devotion. I began to pursue full time mission work, which led me to serve in Chihuahua, Mexico in 2018 and Cusco, Peru from 2019-2021.
I was blessed to marry my wife during that time and we now have two lovely daughters.
