Billy Welsh
Pastor

Billy Welsh has been our pastor since October 2020. Prior to pastoring here, he served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps, traveled preaching in over 300 churches, pastored a church in Knoxville, TN, and worked as a plumber for 3 years.

He came to know Jesus Christ as his Savior in September of 2009 while serving in the United States Marine Corps. Meeting Christ forever changed the trajectory of his life in wonderful ways. He has since had the opportunity to lead many friends to Christ, disciple others, and be an encouragement to his brothers and sisters in Christ, sometimes in unexpected ways (especially while working as a plumber). He has a bachelor's degree from Andersonville Theological Seminary, a Master's in Ministry from Luther Rice College and Seminary, and recently received a Doctorate of Ministry with a focus on Discipleship from Liberty University.

David and Tracy are proud parents to a Navy veteran, Dustin, and grandparents to two beautiful boys, Davin Taylor, and Daelyn Thomas.

Although growing up in church and a Christian home it was not until September 2017 that David came to know Jesus Christ as his Savior. After coming to know Christ David felt Gods calling on his life to continue his education and serve in the local church, David completed his Bachelor's degree in Christian Studies with Grand Canyon University and started on his Masters in Pastoral Counseling and Community Chaplaincy with Liberty University.

Kyle League
Children's Director

Kyle League has walked with the Lord since he was a young boy in elementary school, when he came to understand the importance of forgiveness at summer camp, for others and for himself. In college, he was active with the BCM at Wallace State, including a year as the president. He ended up moving to Huntsville and becoming part of Calvary Bible Church, where he met his wife, Elizabeth. They were married in 2023. 

Kyle and Elizabeth have no kids but they do have a crazy puppy who keeps them occupied (and sometimes makes an appearance to assist with the children). Kyle felt led to assist with children's ministry when he saw the need in the church and found he fit the role well.
