Pastor Barry Murray has served our congregation since December 12, 2000.   He and his family have a sincere desire to serve the Lord and feel it is a great privilege to pastor and be a servant to others. 

Pastor Murray graduated from Hyles–Anderson College in 1990 with a Bachelor's of Pastoral Theology degree. He earned his Masters of Theology degree several years later. He served in several successful ministries before coming to Calvary Baptist.  Pastor Murray has a heart for God and tends the flock at Calvary Baptist like a loving shepherd. 

He does not take his position lightly as he understands that God uses his teaching and preaching to change the lives of believers.  He diligently studies to teach, preach, and counsel us to focus on eternal values so we bear fruit of the Spirit in our walk with the Lord. 

Scripture tells us to serve one another.  Pastor Murray often tells us that he came to serve our congregation.  He need not voice this since it is evident in all that he is and does. 

We are thankful that the Lord has led him to pastor our church as we joyfully and thankfully serve the Lord and one another together.
