Marcus is Calvary's newest staff person an we are delighted to have him lead us all things tech. He works hard to bring worship to wherever you are by streaming three different services per week. He makes the visual elements of worship each week so those in worship and at home can follow the rhythm of worship. We are excited to see how Marcus uses his gifts at Calvary.
