Joseph Garlinghouse

Elder

Joseph and his wife, Kristen, have attended Calvary since 2006. 

Joseph is a family practice doctor and has served the Sault Sainte Marie area for the past 18 years. In addition to serving as an Elder at Calvary, he facilitates a Connection Class on Sunday mornings and hosts a small group in their home.  

Joseph and Kristen were first introduced to Calvary as they sought a place where their kids could get solid Bible teaching - they found it in Calvary's AWANA.

Although Joseph and Kristen initially loved the welcoming nature of Calvary, they stayed because of its Bible-based teaching. He finds Calvary to be a place where Biblical views are embraced and encouraged, where members care about the needs of those around them, and where relationships are formed with others in the body of Christ - making Calvary a church with a great sense of belonging.

Joseph and Kristen were married in 1994. God has blessed them with four grown children and 2 grandchildren.
