Our Staff

Pastor T. J. Klapperich serves as our Senior Pastor.  Born and raised near Detroit, MI , he came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior during his elementary school days.  While in high school he responded to God’s call to the Gospel ministry.  Knowing a call to preach was also a call to prepare, he entered seminary and earned a B.A., M.Div. and Th.M.  For 11 years, he served the Lord in the areas of Christian education and youth ministry at First Baptist Church ( Troy, MI).  While there he was responsible for leading several missions trips (both home and abroad), as well as teaching and preaching at various international seminaries and college.

     Pastor Klapperich became the third pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in 2006.  His heartfelt burden for reaching people with the gospel and for overseas mission work is evident to all who meet him.  He and his wife, Julie, have three boys who are all named after historic missionaries.  In his free time he enjoys fitness activities, photography, and gardening.
