Our Deacon Board
february 2023
We are privileged to have three wonderful deacons:
Rozie Wax, Tearza Mashburn, and Chaplain Terry Grosz
Rozie Wax, a godly mother, is steady in her Godwalk, has been with the church since 2000, reads the Bible daily, has been with the Lord since 1977, has walked with and encouraged so many in their faith, chairs our security team & our hospitality team, has oversight of custodial issues and is who we text with our prayer requests (if you have a request text her at 308-760-3160). She asks great questions and listens intently.
Tearza Mashburn is a mother, a business owner, and a woman of God who has faithfully served our church for many years now, especially served our children and youth, for example, on the city council, being part of Calvary Next and Calvary Kids, and at times, Calvary Youth as well! She has a powerful testimony of how God turned her life around, and now she mentors others. Tearza's board responsibilities encompass our church finances, among other things.
Chaplain Terry Grosz was our Prayer Ministry Leader for several years, has taught and preached consistently, serves as head of Volunteers In Policing and as a chaplain in our town jail. She has initiated so many things, like city-wide prayer events and participates regularly with nation-wide prayer leaders. She is a wife and grandmother and does personal ministry and Biblical discipleship with those who ask, both in and outside our church. Terry’s focus works to witness the body of Christ walking in honor inside the church and reaching into the community outside the church walls. Terry's responsibilities cover facility maintenance.
The deacons not only have care and oversight of the church in its business, but also partner with the pastor in spiritual ministry and direction. It has been the immense privilege of the church to be served by these powerful leaders. Please keep them in your prayers at all times, as well as their families who sacrifice right along with the person serving.

Senior Pastor Jim Settle, wife Brook Settle
July 01, 2017-November 19, 2023
Pastor Jim's favorite book: "The Insanity of God" by Nik Ripken, favorite movie: "The Matrix". He began in ministry in 1987, came to know Jesus as in 1974, and his crazy story is that he drove a schoolbus to Mexico and had it confiscated.
Jim's wife Pastor Brook's favorite books: "Little Princess" by Francis Hodsen Burnett for identity as a princess of God, and Little Pilgrims Progress for grasping some of the issues in our God-journeys, favorite movie is either the "Lord of the Ring" series or "Fried Green Tomatoes". She came to know Jesus in 1965, and her crazy story is that she accidentally wore her pajamas to school one day under her normal clothes. (She doesn't do mornings well and loves coffee for a reason.) Together, they have had three sons. Two are living, with sons/wives serving Christ and 5 grandchildren. (Brook is our 'one-day each week office administrator'.)
While pastoring Calvary has been a wonderful honor and privilege, both Pastor Jim and Brook look forward not only to their new season of retirement with their grandchildren, but also to retirement style ministry, whatever that may be and are excited to see what God has in store for Alliance and Hemingford in the seasons to come. They are praying for the church, the board, and for the new pastor.

Jennifer Jacobo - Calvary Youth staff pastor
January 01, 2017
Jennifer's favorite book is: 'This Present Darkness' and her favorite movie is 'Lord of the Rings'. She accepted Jesus into her heart at age 5, and came to understand Jesus better as a teenager. Her crazy story is that her family responsibility to retrieve the family's emu and bring him home. He was big and fast and would run 2-3 miles from the house. She would have to risk an arm breaking, wrap her arms around his neck and awkwardly bring him back, even as he would break away from her. She had to to corral him as a 16 year old even though she had the help of a group of men one time because she knew how to stop him...and hasn't forgotten the look on their faces when they tried to assist. She has earned the title of 'Emu Wrestler' even though she hasn't travelled far beyond Nebraska. We celebrate Jennifer's appointment as a locally church licensed, part-time paid staff member as of September 2022.
Jen's husband Francisco's favorite book: "How's Your Soul" by Judah Smith, and his favorite movie is '42" about Jackie Robinson. He came to know Jesus at age 12. His crazy story is that his dad wanted one of his children to be born in Mexico. The entire family was there for the birth when the doctor came out and said 'who do you want to live, your wife or your child?' His dad, not knowing the unborn child, chose his wife. When the doctor brought out Francisco, the family began crying, thinking his mother was dead, until the doctor said 'Go see your wife in the room. They both survived.' The family came closer to God through this. (Francisco leads our worship team.)
ALINDA COLE-CALVARY KIDS
JULY 1, 2023

|
Alinda's favorite books: book of Job & 'A Child Called It' because it opened her eyes to the realization of what goes on in homes across the nation, even in our own community, and is a huge part of why she is protective over kids, not just her own kids. Her favorite movie is Coal Miner's Daughter. Her crazy story is that one day she stopped by her daddy's house one day to grab something in a rush. She jumped out of the truck and forgot to put it into park. She walked in front of the truck and it rolled forward, pinning her between the truck and chain link fence and couldn't push it off her. Her daddy wasn't home but the neighbors, thankfully, were outside and ran over and backed the truck up. Scary embarrassing moment, but she says its funny now, especially when she tells people she ran over herself. Getting to know Alinda this past year. Her passion for Jesus and passion for children has impacted all of us.
Who IS Calvary Assembly of God?
March 26, 2017
To the right is pictured a record of our Sunday Schools, since maybe 1939..?? That is a significant representation of who we are......The July 7th, 1940 Sunday School record mentions Pastor C.E. Thurmond, also many others....Women and men who taught classes or sent their children to class with, for example, .12 cent offerings. Then there is listed, in another example, a 'Sister Gloria'. We see her name but maybe will only know her impact on lives in heaven,...perhaps we know those who got to be in her class, or grandchildren of those in her class. Who knows how many of her class went to war to fight in WW II? On the other end, in more recent years, a 1993 class record book , we see another example of who Calvary Assembly is... we see that Rosalyn Detwiler faithfully taught her class of 1-3 children Dec 1992- May 1993, sometimes (often?) with only perhaps one child showing up to nursery class. We may wonder how her prayers over those babies impacted the lives of children who now, years later might be adults? Calvary Assembly of God is us- the group of those who gathered to give their lives sacrificially in prayer and service day in and day out. We are those who seek the face of God, try to be led by His Spirit, clean the church, attend meetings while holding down two jobs, give offerings to support missionaries, we teach Bible studies or children's classes, whether our classes are large or small, we are those who buy a coffee for someone else in the line behind us, or pull weeds or sit with the lonely. We love Jesus and have a commitment to learn from Him that extends beyond time, and a reward that is beyond our ability to know it in this life as we love and serve as He loved and served. The Bible says 'we will reap in due season IF we do not give up', Galatians 6:9. We wanted this paragraph to be a shout out to all the saints who have sown into other peoples lives willingly, and even often under stress- just reading the names, we now can see children who have grown up experiencing Jesus and committing their own lives to a furtherance of HIS kingdom. Who is Calvary Assembly of God? It is the assembly of real time saints and sinners chasing and being chased by a very big God, working out our own 'stuff' in fear and trembling. Oh, one more thing.... we love coffee. So, come join us and have some!
