He married the love of his life, Pam Williams, in 1985. Pam was born in Indianapolis, IN and was no stranger to the ministry. Her father, Rev. Joe Williams, was a minister for 34 years and retired as the pastor of the Christ Gospel Church in Oklahoma City.
Rev. Pam Calvert has helped with vocals during the worship service since the age of 16, and continues to bless the Lord with her gift of singing and leading worship service at our church.
Rev. and Sis. Calvert became the youth ministers for Oklahoma City church in 1987. While serving as youth ministers, both Rev & Sis. Calvert graduated from The Bible Institute and became ordained ministers.
