Mike Kern
Senior Pastor
Pastor Mike grew up in a Christian home outside the Calvary Chapel family. He and his wife, Melissa, met in church and were married in 1995 before being sent out as a church plant several years later. After seven years of pastoral ministry in Charlotte, NC and Sacramento, CA, they came back to Bullhead City and eventually ended up at Calvary Chapel. He was ordained by founding pastor Chuck Kelly and brought on staff in 2010 as an assistant pastor. In 2023, Chuck retired and Mike assumed the senior pastor role.
Elders
Our elders serve alongside the pastor as the spiritual leadership of our church family. They offer prayer, counseling, visitation and accountability to those in need.

Chuck Kelly
Founding Pastor
Pastor Chuck and Lynda Kelly started a home fellowship in 1979 that grew into a church in the early 80s. Chuck retired in 2023 but both he and Lynda continue to serve the church family today.

Deacons
Our deacons serve as lay leaders over the service ministries of the church.
