Terry became Senior Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in October of 2023. He has been pastoring churches in Texas and Oklahoma since 1986.  Terry is a graduate of Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Don’t ask how long he’s been married – he would have to do math. He and his wife, Cindy have had the blessing and challenges of raising three incredible daughters.

Things that bring the joy outside of pastoring are time with his family, especially when all the girls are home; fishing & hunting; reading; and watching sports. His favorite movies are westerns, John Wayne, Sci-Fi, John Wayne again, and adventure. His favorite cartoon character is Wile E. Coyote.

Bro. Ben joined our staff in February of 2017 as Associate Pastor. He holds a Bachelor's Degree from Sam Houston State University and is patiently pursuing his Master's of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Ben and his wife, Cassity, have two children: Judah and Ruth-Ann.

He enjoys reading, playing guitar, and spending time with his wife and children.

Favorite Quote: "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."- C.S. Lewis
