Senior Pastor

Gary Howell

I am the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Fort Mill. My wife, Lisa, and I moved to Fort Mill in 2007.

Newly married and following a leading from the Lord, we bought a camper and headed up to the Carolinas from West Palm Beach, Florida. We had no idea at the time what God had in store, but we have not ceased to be in awe of His hand on our lives and in the building of this church community.

We laid down our roots here in Fort Mill and started a home fellowship that grew into the church you are at today. Over the years, our family has grown too. Lisa and I have two children — Brooke and Joshua. Lisa homeschools our children and devotes many hours to our church family throughout the week.

I’m a bi-vocational pastor and work for a construction company during the week. It’s a great joy that I was also called to be the pastor of Calvary Chapel Fort Mill. I have a heart to shepherd God’s people and teach His Word.
