Garth Aderholt

I accepted Jesus into my heart at age 11.  After a period of rebellion, I rededicated my life to Him at age 21.  Knowing that God had called me to serve Him in ministry, I exchanged secular studies for biblical studies, graduating from Bible College in 1987.   After seven years in ministry at the church I had grown up in, I felt the Lord was leading me and my family to Calvary Chapel Modesto in 1994.  I came on staff as an assistant pastor in August of 2001 (three weeks before 9/11).
