Aaron is originally from Washington state where he was a firefighter. He eventually felt God's calling to do full-time church ministry and was sent as a missionary to Rosarito in Mexico. It was from there that he felt called to plant a church in Punta Gorda, FL. He did just that in 2016 and established The Rock Calvary Chapel. They eventually outgrew their building Punta Gorda and moved to a larger building in Port Charlotte, FL in 2023.

While Tony was a member of the United State Marine Corps and was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he felt the Lord's leading that he was called to be a pastor. When he returned to the states, he eventually became an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Vista in California. In 1994, he was told about a ministry opportunity in Newport News, VA and after much prayer, Tony knew this is where he was called to plant a church. Calvary Chapel Newport News became establish in October, 1994.

Brian began teaching the Bible as lay leader while he was aboard his submarine in the US Navy. He served as a youth pastor, worship leader, and church planter at Rocky Mountain Calvary in Colorado Springs. He planted a church in Las Vegas and ministered there for 7 years before he felt called to return to Colorado Springs where he planted Springs Lighthouse in 2012, where he still serves as senior pastor.

Dave was radically saved in 1981. He worked in international corporate leadership in the agriculture industry for 18 years. He became a pastor at Calvary Chapel Melbourne in 2002. He started a School of Ministry in 2005 where he has trained 120 pastors, missionaries, and leaders through the program.

Al began serving in church ministries as early 1973 where he was the bass guitarist in a Christian band called, "The Rays of Light." He became a full-time staff member at Calvary Chapel in Colorado Springs in 1980. He would become an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Albuquerque in 1991. He moved back to Colorado Springs in 1997 to become the lead pastor at Calvary Worship Center. Al turned the church over to his son, Nathan in 2024. Al now has his own ministry that is focused on teaching God's Word around the world.

Mike and his wife, Sarah, moved to Rosarito, Mexico in 2002 after being sent out from Calvary Chapel Saving Grace to plant a church. What began as a small home Bible study grew into Calvary Chapel Rosarito, where Mike serves as lead pastor. Mike has a passion for training pastors and church planters, developing a two-year church-planting program in 2005. Through this ministry, Calvary Rosarito has sent out more than 30 church plants throughout Mexico and beyond.
