Email Charley: Charley@CalvaryVC.org Worship & Education Pastor Jerry Cress I am currently a full-time Assistant Principal at Wichita South High School. I have been involved with Church Music and Education/Youth in either a full or part time basis since I was 18 (that was a long time ago). I have degrees in both music (BME and MME) and education (MRE and Admin. Certification). I have worked in inner-city schools and have found it to be a great place to have influence for God’s glory on the future of America—my own mission field. It is my prayer that as I lead in both the public school arena as well as in the church, that God is the center of in the totality of my life. Email Jerry: Jerry@CalvaryVC.org Secretary Sharon Sisler Hi! My name is Sharon Sisler! As church secretary, I am often the first person to greet you when you walk into the church building. I have the responsibility of keeping as many of our people posted on as many of our happenings as possible. A lot of my time is spent on the telephone or on the computer (or actually, clearing paper jams.....). My favorite part of my job is to deal with our people one on one for a variety of reasons. After serving in this position since 1980, I still look forward to my ministry in a real and loving manner and claim Nehemiah 8:10 daily! In my off hours, I enjoy being a wife, homemaker and GRANDMOTHER, teaching middle school Sunday School and shopping! My life verse is Proverbs 3:5-6! To God be the glory.... Email Sharon: Sharon@CalvaryVC.org Financial Secretary Nancy Otte My name is Nancy Otte! I am the Financial Recording Secretary for Calvary Baptist Church. I have other faithful volunteers that make my job easier, such as our treasurer and the nine tellers who work on a rotational basis to count the offerings. My responsibility is to oversee all areas that deal with money. I write checks, post contributions, make deposits from other designated income and sit on the Budget/Stewardship Committee as an ex officio member. God has blessed our church in so many ways, one of which is being debt free. I have worked in this capacity since May of 1988 and enjoy seeing those who are learning to live out of God's economy rather than the world's economy. Our children and grand children are the bright spot in our lives. I teach Precept Bible Studies and support my husband as he teaches Sunday School. Music, Lighthouses, traveling and reading are the true loves of my leisure time. With a busy life, my life verse is John 14:27 - Jesus says: "Peace I leave with you, my peace i give unto you, not as the world gives it, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid!" Email Nancy: Nancy@CalvaryVC.org
