Larry Deans
Church Chairman

I began attending Calvary in April 2022 when I moved to Delavan and I became a member of Calvary in November 2022. My. wife Ginger and I were married for 43 years, and we have 3 children –Julie, Brandon and Matthew and 5 grandchildren. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1990 and my wife Ginger through her faithful praying and how she lived her life each day for the Lord was the one who brought me to the foot of the cross. The following year our entire family was baptized at Crossroad Church in Libertyville, Il. In November 2019 Ginger, the love of my life, went home to be with her Lord and Savior.
Calvary has been an important part of my life over the last several years and I look forward to obeying God and the plan He has for me to serve at Calvary, whatever that may be, and I pray that I am found faithful. As I reflect on the current season of my life today, I am certain of this, my Joy will forever be rooted in the unspeakable blessedness of the forgiveness I have received, the assurance of salvation and the hope of Heaven so today I will choose to have a joyful heart.

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.

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 !

We have had the pleasure of attending Calvary since 2021, becoming members in 2022. My son and I have had the pure joy of attending weekly Bible Study led by Pat Allen since 2021. My favorite bible verse is “Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4; 4-7

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.
