Gary Hashley, Senior Pastor

Never intending to be a pastor, Gary enrolled in the Missionary Aviation program at the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music. After three semesters and earning his Private Pilot’s License, God made it plain He had something else in mind other than flying on the mission field. Gary and Rachel married in 1977 and joined the Rural Bible Mission where they ministered to boys and girls in Michigan. Gary was called to pastor his first church in 1982, and that was the beginning of a wonderful adventure that led them here in January of 2007. Gary and Rachel have three grown children, two great sons-in-law and eleven amazing grandchildren. They love hiking, biking and flying together.

Vicki Weber, Office Manager

Vicki and her husband, Kurt, have three adult daughters and seven grandchildren. She was married by Pastor Bonds at Calvary in 1979, so Calvary Memorial is home! Her past work experience includes jobs in the banking arena, ministry office manager roles, and city municipality positions. Now she’s back doing her heart’s desire. After participating in the Divided Kingdom study of the Old Testament by Bible Study Fellowship, she has found Micah 6:8 to be such a blessing: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good, And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Vicki is in awe of how God networks believers and uses all walks of life to glorify Himself. Her husband & her family are her greatest passion. Simple pleasures include tending her garden boxes, canning, reading, Bible studies, convertible rides, fishing, & a good, iced tea.
