Steve Bray
Vocational Elder
Steve was born in Newfoundland and grew up both in Harbour Grace and St. John’s. He was pursued and saved by Jesus at 21 years of age and God called him into ministry at that time. He has known his wife Debbie since they were 5 years of age, they started dating at 16 and were married at 20. They have now been married for over 30 years.
God has gifted Steve and Debbie with three children, Brandon, Jordan and Abigail Grace. The Lord has also blessed them with an ever growing number of grandchildren, to which they are both thrilled. Children and family are God’s gift to them both and yet Steve and Debbie will tell you they belong to God first and foremost. Steve has a certificate in Biblical Studies and is currently working towards his Masters of Divinity degree. He also has experience in business management and human resources. Steve has been in ministry for over 25 years, having served for 15 years of pastoral ministry in Prince Edward Island. He has been the lead Elder of Calvary Baptist Church since 2015.

Stephen Dawe
Vocational Elder
Steve came to saving faith while an undergraduate at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Since that time, he has worked as a volunteer in student ministries with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, as a pastor in South Korea and in his native Newfoundland, and now as an elder at Calvary. He holds degrees in Philosophy (BA), Law (LLB) and ministry (M.Div) and is presently studying at the Southern Baptist Theological School. Convinced of the need for professionals to learn how to live their professional lives to the Glory of God, he has strong interests in the intersection of ethics and work, as well as a desire to help people work through their relationship with Jesus Christ as it applies to every facet of their lives.

Jonathan Anderson
Elder
Jonathan Anderson loves Jesus, his family and the church. He is a husband of one and father of two, and their love is evidenced by their laughing at his jokes... sometimes. The Andersons are originally from the St. John’s area, and have been a part of Calvary since 2014, when they returned from a few years in the UK. Jon is an Engineering professor by day (and by night!), and became an elder at Calvary in 2020.
