Meet Our Pastors

Pastor - Colter Rantz
Having served at Calvary since 2009, Colter has recently become lead pastor. Having lived in the Nixa area his entire life, Pastor Colter started attending Calvary when he was about four years old. God's grace was made known to him through a Vacation Bible School that Calvary Bible hosted, and the young man realized Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal savior. Growing up with a passion to serve his Lord and see others come to know God's grace, in March of 2012 Colter was ordained into the Gospel ministry. Colter serves as Lead Pastor alongside his wife, Hailey. Both Colter and Hailey are excited to serve the Lord at Calvary Bible Church and to glorify Him. 

Pastor - Larry Pauley
Larry began serving in pastoral ministry when Jimmy Carter was still president. More than four and a half decades later he is still excited about serving as a shepherd for God's people. Through the years he has served as pastor for churches in Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri. He also served for several years in leadership for an international missionary organization serving local churches in the former Soviet Union. Larry and his wife, Janet, consider it a privilege to serve the Lord at CBC Nixa. Opening the Word of God and helping others understand it is an ongoing passion, and that is true whether it is from the pulpit or one on one.
