Pastor Marcus felt a call to ministry not long after finding his way to an Apostolic church as a teenager. He completed an internship at the Pentecostals of Alexandria in Louisiana that further cultivated that calling. Holly became a member of Calvary Church (formerly “The Church NWA”) in the spring of 2011 as a student at the University of Arkansas. Marcus & Holly married in 2015 and became student pastor, while also filling in anytime there was a need beyond that of student pastor. Marcus is the epitome of a people person. He lives to make others smile and share in the goodness of God. His incredible testimony has given him a special way to meet people where they are and truly understand the tough times of life. Holly’s testimony is a little different. She was raised in church and has learned so much about life from ministry and becoming more aware of how much the world truly needs Jesus. She is an introvert, but has really worked hard to let ministry stretch her comfort zone. She has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from the University of Arkansas. Thanks to the blessings of God, she is able to be at home to homeschool their three children, Franco, Florence, and Fenway.

Pastor Chantry’s work with Calvary Church began over 19 years ago as Student Pastor. He and Heather were voted in as Associate Pastor in 2012 and in 2016 were voted in, unanimously, as Pastor of Calvary Church. Heather was a 3rd grade teacher at Centerton Gamble Elementary until spring 2019 and they both have led in local, state, and national ministries. Their daughter, Ava, is the center of their world and as a family, they love to spend time together at home and traveling. They have a heart to lead people to Christ and to see revival in NWA.
