Brian Elvert
608.445.8335
The Lord Jesus regenerated me in 2010 as I was driving and listening to a Christian music station. He went on to show me that the Bible is the inspired word of God and led me to seek fellowship in a campus Bible study. I fell in love with the Lord Jesus and His church. I also fell in love with Miriam, married her in 2021, and moved from Madison to Elkhorn. We currently live in Williams Bay. We serve side-by-side, preaching the gospel at Saturdays on the Square in Elkhorn and ministering to the children and teens here at Calvary.
Pat Allen
630.462.0603
I became A child of our Lord at 8 years old, as my mother taught myself, my brother and my sister about Jesus and why He loved us. I knew the Lord was prompting me to respond, so I answered Him by receiving His gift of Salvation. From that point on even when I was rebellious, He was and has been more than faithful! I am married to the love of my life Mary Katherine, who went home to be with her Savior May 6th 2020. Next to my Jesus, she was my best friend, and guide in this life. We have 3 adult children, 7 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild, but only 1 boy ! I have been a member of Calvary for almost 8 years and have loved the opportunity to serve as an Elder, and discipler of men in our community. As I Prayerfully consider another 3 years on the Elder Board, with your approval, I am truly humbled by the opportunity to serve both You and our God in ways that will honor and glorify Him! ( Proverbs 3: 5-6 )
Greg Ingersoll
262.374.1761
I have been married to Julia for 32 years. We have 3 sons and 2 daughters-in-law, Hayden (Alicia), Ross, and Spencer (Abigail). We are from Elkhorn and I have attended Calvary my entire life. When I was a young boy, around 7 years old, I asked Jesus to be my savior in a Sunday School class led by Jim Nelson. As I matured, I realized I needed to form a relationship with my savior Jesus and I rededicated my life to Him as a teenager. Through the years, God has opened many doors for me to be involved in various ministries and has gifted me with His discernment and a deep love for the body of Christ here at Calvary Community Church. It is a very humbling privilege to serve God alongside the pastoral staff and the members here at Calvary as part of the elder team. Please pray with us and for us as we seek His face for wisdom and direction. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Joey Haywood

I have been married to Anissa for 27 years. We have two adult children, Alea and Jonas. We have lived in Lake Geneva for 21 years and have been attending Calvary Community Church for 20 years. I am a public school 3rd grade teacher in Lake Geneva. I was extremely blessed to have grown up in a Christian home and received the Lord as my personal Savior at a young age at a church where my parents were singing during a weekend service. My life has never been the same since that defining moment. Eldership is a huge and humbling calling that I do not take lightly. I have served on the Elder board in the past and am excited to again join this godly group of men who have also been called to shepherd the church in prayer, with the leading of God’s Word, and being empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Richard W. Olsen
847.977.6632
I have been married to Joanne for 49 years. Our children are Eric (46) and Maureen, Bjorn (44) and Trisha, and Jennifer Ayala (36) and her husband Tino. We have nine grandchildren ranging from age four to fifteen. We have lived in Lake Geneva for the past five years after living in the Palatine, Illinois area, where we were members of the Orchard Evangelical Free Church (Arlington Heights EFC) for more than 50 years. We began attending Calvary in 2017 and joined in 2018. I accepted Christ as my personal Savior when I was 8 years old with the help of my Sunday School teacher. I have grown through the Bible’s teachings, challenged by my pastors. Over the years, we have learned to rely on God’s leading in our daily walk with Him. Having served at the Orchard on various boards and committees, I had thought that God was finished with me when we moved here, but serving on the elder board these past three years has been a wonderful opportunity to serve here at Calvary and God continues to tap on my shoulder to serve in other areas of ministry.
