This church recognizes Christ as its Head and the Scriptures as its only authority (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15; 2 Timothy 3:16). Under that authority, the oversight of this church is vested in a body of Elders who operate in concert with the Deacons, along with the church staff and the congregation. The primary officers of the church are the Elders and Deacons.
The elders at Calvary Baptist Church are (from L to R): Paul Martins, Jean Achedou, Richie Stockholm, Terry Stockholm, Geoff Ring, Troy Meadows, and Bill Wright.

Paul grew up in Northern Virginia where he met and married the love of his life, Karen. They both come from families with military backgrounds. They have a son named Titus who is the apple of their eye. Paul worked in a professional career for several years while he volunteered in a local church before being called to full-time ministry. He has served as an associate and senior pastor prior to coming to Calvary. He received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, Masters of Divinity & Theology from Capital Bible Seminary, and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Expository Preaching and Teaching. He is honored to serve alongside his fellow elders in shepherding and leading Calvary Baptist.
Paul is passionate about Christ, His Word, people, and helping people grow in a dynamic relationship with Christ through His Word. Paul enjoys spending time with people hearing their stories, being outdoors, reading great books, all things Lord of the Rings, and watching college football – especially Virginia Tech.
My Life Verse: So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. – Psalm 78:72
