Leadership
Proverbs 29:2 mentions that "when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice."
The Lord has truly blessed the Challenge Men's Ministry with a group of men who have willingly and wholeheartedly sought to serve the Calvary community by discipling, teaching, and lifting up men into serving and leadership positions within their own relationships, homes, and workplaces.
Our Team
Pastor Dave Row
Dave was born into a pastor's home in west Texas. His father and grandfather were both pastors, and he came to the Lord at the age of 7 during one of his father's services. Years later, after listening to Chuck Smith on the radio, Dave chose to move to Albuquerque where he sat under the teaching of Pastor Skip. He went through a hermeneutics class on tape and then moved to Red River, NM to begin a Bible study with a friend. It was in Red River where he met his wife Karlie. Dave eventually planted churches in both Taos and Angel Fire. In 1998 he was invited back to Albuquerque to oversee Calvary's School of Ministry and Shepherd's School. He later joined the administrative staff and currently serves as the associate pastor. Dave and Karlie have 4 children: Madeline, Emily, Campbell, and Hudson.
Pastor Justin Marbury Justin began to see the call God had on his life while studying chemistry at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Several years later, after moving from Colorado to New Hampshire and getting married to his wife Kari, he moved back to New Mexico, where he had grown up. Immediately after moving to New Mexico, he and Kari began to attend Calvary of Albuquerque, and before long, Justin became involved in a Bible study at YDDC, a youth detention center here in Albuquerque.
It has been almost ten years since they first moved to Albuquerque. He and Kari now have two daughters and a son on the way. God continues to reveal to Justin the ministry that He has prepared for him. He serves as pastor of prodigal ministries to at-risk youth and pastor of men's ministry. In addition, Justin is the Albuquerque director of LifeQuest Academy, a parachurch ministry to at-risk youth.
