LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION
Pastor Lloyd Pulley
Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge and Founder of Calvary Christian School
At CCS we are dedicated to “Education by Discipleship.” We are committed not only to providing a strong academic environment in which your children can learn and grow, but also to co-laboring with parents as they seek to raise their children to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Our highest priority will be preparing these young people to engage the world around them with the truth of the Gospel, in whatever field or profession they pursue. To borrow missionary William Carey's famous motto, our hope is that each child will be, “attempting great things for God; expecting great things from God.”

Life Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Favorite part of working in Christian education: Christian Education is fundamental to the growth of young minds. As in the book of Esther, a Jewish maiden, was chosen as Queen of Persia and was an integral part of saving the Jewish nation from certain destruction, I believe Christian Education stands in the way of this world's attempt to destroy young minds, for such a time as this. Calvary Christian School "Education by Discipleship" has a strong academic and discipleship program; young minds will learn and be fed the Word of God.
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." - Proverbs 22:6

Favorite part of working in Christian education: I am a student of God’s word whose priority is application to my own life first and then to share the life-changing message of God’s word to others. I love leading people to receive Jesus as their Savior and then grown in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s why I am excited about the ministry of CCS, where young people can come to faith in Christ and grow as followers of Christ, all in the context of an excellent Christ-centered education. I am all about Education by Discipleship!

Life Verse: Psalm 32:8
Favorite part of working in Christian education: My favorite thing about Christian education is the sense of community it fosters. In a Christian school, we’re not just teaching subjects; we’re nurturing a family where students, teachers, and parents support one another in faith and learning. This close-knit environment allows us to encourage each other in our spiritual journeys, celebrate God’s work in our lives, and face challenges together with prayer and biblical wisdom. It’s a blessing to be part of a community that prioritizes both academic excellence and spiritual growth.
