He holds degrees from Liberty University and Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. His early years of ministry experience were in denominational churches, but the Lord led him to become a part of the Calvary Chapel movement. He was part of the original group that started Calvary Chapel of Amherst County in January 2000. His desire is to know Jesus and make Him known.
Steve has been married to Kathy for 18 years and they have three sons Tyler, Tanner, and Turner.

Sandi enjoys the youth ministry as she understands the struggles firsthand of being a teen. Sandi came to know Jesus in 1985, while living in Nashville, Tennessee.

His passions are: first - The Lord Jesus Christ, second - his wife and two children, and third - a passion for music.

Troy was blessed to begin the first Amherst County area food bank in 1994, which is still in operation today. Troy is a professional musician and audio engineer as well as an encouraging team leader. Troy’s favorite verse is: John 4:23 "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Children's Ministry Leader- Kathy Amburgey  I grew up in eastern Kentucky and was saved at the age of six when a missionary came to our church to speak in our children's ministry. Soon after, I started feeling God calling me into ministry. I married Steve, the love of my life, at the age of 18 and eventually we moved to Lynchburg, Va. for Steve to attend Liberty University. Here, we had three boys, Tyler, Tanner, and Turner, and started Calvary Chapel of Amherst, among other things. I now teach fourth grade at a local Christian school and love it. I love working with children which is why I am involved with our children's ministry. I am blessed to be a part of God's work here in Amherst, Va.

Ladies' Ministry Leader- Linda Zabloski Linda recently joined Calvary Chapel after she and her husband and two sons moved from Ft Lauderdale, FL.

She is currently teaching 6th grade, completing her 20th year in education. "My vision for the women's ministry is twofold: to inspire women God brings our way to a deeper relationship with Christ through Bible study and fellowship, and to empower women to use their gifts and talents to serve others."

Men's Ministry Leader- Paul McNemee
Paul first came to the Lord in October 1981 while attending a home Bible study in California. Several years later after some disappoinments, dicouragement, and misunderstandings he tried to hide from people and God for about five years. However, God never lets go. In November 2005 the Lord pulled him back into fellowship at Calvary Chapel Amherst County, where the love of the believers and the Word of God has brought spiritual healing and the demolition of many areas of bondage. After learning how to forgive and let go, Paul is now at peace with himself, with others, and with God.
Paul grew up as a farm boy in Kansas, but has been all over the United States except the southeast. He feels Virginia is the closest thing to heaven on earth and should have moved here years ago. He is now retired after 40 years of working in food service as a chef and manager. He is working part time as a custodian at a local elementary school, but his true passion is to serve the Lord and help others grow in the knowledge of God so they can experience God's peace and joy in their lives.
