Pastor Rocky was brought up in church and came to believe in Jesus at an early age. His family dropped out of church for several years. They returned to fellowship in church during his mid-teens. Pastor Rocky dedicated himself back to the Lord when he was 18.

Pastor Rocky met Kim in the church they attended when he came back to church. They were married in December of 1988, and had their daughter, Brittany, in December of 1993. Kim is a hair dresser. She enjoys greeting and talking with people. Brittany graduated in 2016 from Liberty University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

Pastor Rocky served as a Sunday School teacher and two years as a church treasurer. In 1990, he surrendered to the call of ministry and served as a youth pastor for seven years. He sensed God’s leading to begin a new work, so he and Kim started Calvary’s Love Ministries. In February of 1998, seven others joined them in their apartment for their first prayer meeting.
