I was raised in Toms River, NJ. During my high school years, the Lord was directing me to surrender my life to full-time ministry.  I attended West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, CA and met Alycia during my time there.  We were married shortly after graduation and returned to New Jersey to serve as Assistant Pastor at my home church, Ocean County Baptist Church.  During that time, God blessed Alycia and I with our first son, Cameron.

I am excited that God has led me to be the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church.  I believe God wants to do amazing things through this ministry and in this community.  In the time we have been here, God has blessed us immensely and added to our family three more children, Carter, Clark, and Averie.

I know that life is sometimes hard and complicated. I also know that doing our best is sometimes not enough. My desire is to help you discover truths in God’s word and, more importantly, the life-changing God of the Bible. If you have any questions or you just need someone to talk to, please feel free to stop by for a visit.

In Christ,
Carlos Alaan
