Hi!
I'm Amanda(: I've been attending Calvary for about 10 years and it is basically my second home. I'm currently attending college and God has given me a wonderful job at a local christian bookstore. This ministry has been such a blessing to me and I'm so thankful that the Lord has allowed me to serve here. I hope you choose to stop by because I'm sure you will be blessed too! I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi!
My name is David and I serve at Overflow. That is all. Plus.. I like daisies and polka dots and not having to write bios. Therefore I will have to have it written for me by my leader while I am sitting in the room looking smugly. THAT is all.

Hello everyone!!
Let's see... I have just recently graduated from UHCL with a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies EC-6 (aka a teaching degree). I am waiting on the Lord for what the next move is going to be and I am excited to see where He leads me! I have a heart for the victims found in human trafficking and the homeless. I want to help as many of them as I possibly can! I don't know what this next chapter in life has in store for me but I do know that my life is not my own so whatever happens will bring God glory. I would love to get to know YOU and hear about what the Lord is doing in YOUR life! Come to Overflow, for real, you honestly won't regret it!
In Christ's love!

Hi!
As you can see above, my name is Samantha Ryding. I oversee the kiddos in Overflow and help facilitate groups. I strongly enjoy coffee, McDonald's, and most importantly - my Jesus. He is the giver of lge, an unwavering banner, a strong refuge, and a very present help in time of trouble. I strongly believe that each day grows more evil, but that God desires to do a great and mighty work through His people in this world. I encourage you to come to Overflow - even if it's just for one night - to be equipped, to grow, and to enjoy the awesome fellowship!

My name is Tanner Smith, I am twenty-one, and I lead worship at Overflow! I have trouble growing a beard, playing frisbee golf, and spending long periods of time away from the ocean and it's waves.

Hello
My name is Matt Hindt. I have a very dry humor and sacastic manner. Before I was saved, it would be easy to say I was a pessimist, but now- I'm a realist. I grew up in the church and have heard the typical Bible stories my whole life, yet when I was in Jr. High and the Lord called me out of a religious life and into a relationship-- thats when everything changed! I am no longer a slave to my sin but a bondservant of Christ. He has called me to lead this ministry and teach the whole counsel of God exegetically and literally. So please join us as we move through God's word and praise Him with our lives.
-Matt
