church leadership

Pastor Keala has answered God's calling on his life by serving The Lord wherever he has gone. Prior to moving to Cascade in the spring of 2020, Keala was principal at Liberty Christian School in Walla Walla, WA. His wife, Heather was the 3rd and 4th-grade teacher there as well. They faithfully served God for 13 years at Liberty Christian. They moved to Walla Walla after serving two years in Brasov, Romania. They planted Calvary Chapel Brasov in 2006 and loved being church planters until 2008 when God called them back to the States. It was a fruitful time learning about the people of Romania, teaching God’s Word, ministering to many villages, and growing in their Faith along with their kids. Before moving to Romania, they lived in Garden Valley, ID for nine years. This is where God made a mighty impact in their lives through Calvary Chapel Garden Valley and the people that God brought to Garden Valley at that time. In Garden Valley, while raising kids, teaching at the school, serving in the church, leading worship and ministering to the quaint mountain town, God called them into 

full-time ministry, and they said: “Yes! Send me!”  Keala and Heather have four adult children

 and two grandchildren who love Jesus and are serving Him.  Keala and Heather have been married since 1995 and are so blessed to serve and minister in Cascade.
