Family Conference November 2
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, in all of our morning worship gatherings, we will have the privilege of participating in our quarterly Family Conference.
These conferences are an important part of our church life and are essential to how we, as a church, are governed. As a member of Calvary, you have the opportunity to vote on important items as God continues to move in and through our church.

Andrew Burhans
Church family, my name is Andrew Burhans, and I am deeply humbled and grateful to be nominated to serve once again as a deacon. My wife, Dawn, and I joined Calvary shortly after our marriage in 1996, and for the past 29 years, we have been blessed to grow in faith and fellowship through this loving church family.
During that time, we have raised our three children — Tucker, Cameron, and Emma Cate — who were nurtured through Calvary’s preschool, children’s, and student ministries and are now walking faithfully with Christ. Throughout these years, Dawn and I have had the privilege of serving together in various ministries, including the Baptism Committee, Marriage Enrichment Ministry Team, Student Ministry Team, and as Bible Fellowship and Home Group Leaders. I have also previously served as a deacon and am nearing completion of my third year on the Finance Committee.
It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to serve the Lord alongside the people of Calvary. I remain prayerful and committed to continue serving wherever God leads, that together we may glorify Him and share His love with others.

Chris works as a Senior Manager of Business Development at Graphic Packaging International, a global leader in paperboard packaging solutions for the food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods industries.

My wife Emma and I have been a part of the Calvary family now for a little over 17 years. We are the proud parents of Aleah who is a Freshman at Calvary Day School. I’ve been able to serve in many different capacities during my time at Calvary including as a Bible Fellowship leader and as Coordinator for the second Sunday Guest Services team. We’ve been blessed with many amazing friendships throughout our time at Calvary and truly love the people of Calvary. I’m looking forward to serving as a deacon for the coming term and working alongside our great Pastoral staff as they lead Calvary into the future God has planned for us.

Chris Sheppard
My wife Heather and I grew up attending Calvary church and school where our faith was formed and encouraged by so many who served. We recently spent 8 meaningful years at Mercy Hill in Greensboro before being called back home to Calvary in 2024, where I currently co-lead a Sunday morning group. Our daughter, Salem, attends preschool at Calvary Day School and brings so much joy to our lives.
I’m grateful that God chose to use faithful servants to create a legacy at Calvary that has impacted my life, my family, and this community that I love. I’m excited to see how God will continue to use Calvary as we seek to faithfully serve Him now.
