Calvin Harris has attended CCFW since 1993. He brings a wealth of life experiences, steadfast faith, and a love for adventure to our community. Born in Oakland, California, Calvin’s journey to service and faith is as inspiring as it is relatable.

Calvin shares a vibrant family life with his wife, Charlene, and their two sons, Calvin Jr., (born in 1981) and Chris (born in 1995). He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science.

His personal testimony is a reminder of the transformative power of faith. “After hearing a pastor’s message, I realized my lifestyle wasn’t in sync with Christian living,” he reflects. This pivotal moment reshaped his life, leading him to dedicate himself to spiritual growth and community service.

When Calvin isn’t serving the congregation, you’ll likely find him outdoors, indulging in his favorite hobbies. Whether it’s camping, fishing, hunting, or diving, he’s always embracing the beauty of God’s creation. His love for music—particularly jazz, R&B, and gospel—keeps his soul nourished and inspired. Calvin is a lifelong Raiders fan. Jazz, R&B, and gospel are his go-to music genres.
