Pastor Jim Gallagher
When I was 17 years old and a senior in high school, I heard for the first time that Jesus loved me, died for me and if I would receive Him, He would give me everlasting life. I said yes, and Jesus changed my life. A few years later I was given an opportunity to teach the Bible for the first time, and from that day, I knew what God had called me to do: teach others the simple truths about Jesus. When I was 23, I was hired as an assisting pastor at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa where I served in youth ministry until 1998. I have been pastoring Calvary Chapel Vero Beach since 1998. My heart’s desire for God’s people can be summed up in Paul’s words to the Ephesians: “‘Til we come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” I believe that the desire of God and the purpose of the Church is to be a place where we can grow in our relationship with Christ through the study of His Word.

Pastor Buddy Osborn
Buddy Osborn is the Senior Pastor of The Rock-Calvary Chapel of Kensington and founder of Rock Ministries of Philadelphia. Raised by a single mom with eight siblings in Kensington, Buddy discovered boxing at 13 and became one of Philadelphia’s top young fighters, winning the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves and competing internationally. Despite his success, he retired at 22, still feeling empty inside. At 28, Buddy was sentenced to eight years in federal prison on racketeering charges. After his release, he gave his life to Christ on New Year’s Eve and began attending Calvary Chapel Philadelphia, sitting under Pastor Joe Focht’s teaching for 12 years. Mission trips and juvenile prison Bible studies confirmed his calling to reach kids before they ended up in prison. With prayer and no money, Buddy launched Rock Ministries to share the gospel through boxing. At 45, he returned to Kensington with a Bible in his gym bag, and thousands of kids have since come through the doors, many finding Christ. Buddy, alongside his wife Lucille and daughter Leigha, now seeks to reach “one family at a time” and “one block at a time,” holding fast to Romans 8:28. FIND OUT MORE: www.therockphilly.org
Pastor Troy Warner
Troy met Jesus when he was just six years old, and that moment marked the beginning
of a lifelong journey of faith and surrender. In high school, his family moved to California,
where he started attending Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. It was there he met Rebecca, the
girl who would become his wife and ministry partner. In 1988, God opened the door for Troy and Rebecca to step into full-time ministry, serving young adults in Sydney, Australia. A few years later, they returned to Southern California, where Troy joined the team at Calvary Chapel Vista, leading in youth and missions. But it wasn’t long before God stirred their hearts for something new. In 1994, Troy and Rebecca followed the call to plant a church on the East Coast, and Calvary Chapel Lynchburg was born. For over 30 years, Troy has been faithfully leading, teaching, and pointing people to Jesus, one verse and one chapter at a time. He’s currently taking the church through the Bible for the fourth time. Troy and Rebecca have three amazing adult children and a growing crew of grandkids who fill their lives with joy.
