Overseers (AKA Pastors or Elders) are servant-leaders with godly character who prayerfully care for and govern the church - teaching, protecting and equipping the saints for life and ministry.
MARQUIS ASHLEY
Marquis Ashley has served in full-time worship and pastoral ministry since 2004. He is passionate about small-group Bible study, raising up the next generation of worship musicians, and supporting church-planting. His deepest desire is to help people know Jesus, develop a biblical worldview, and live a life of worship—loving God, loving others, and making disciples.
Marquis completed 4 years of biblical studies at Moody Bible Institute, Calvary Chapel Bible College, and Calvary Spokane. He has recorded and toured nationally, participated in 15 international mission trips, and continues to stay rooted in the local church.
Married since 2003, he and his wife have three wonderful kids who love the Lord and have served with them in worship, production, and kids ministry. Marquis enjoys family walks, songwriting and recording, graphic design, carpentry, fast internet, anything chocolate-peanut butter, and a good nap.
PAUL ALEXANDER
Paul served as an Interim Pastor for two years before joining us at Reliance. He has a huge heart for the Lord, His Word, and for people. He is a great preacher and worship leader, and we are so blessed to have him here with us as a lay pastor.
MARTIN TATTON
Martin attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and pastored in Scotland for ten years prior to moving to the Flathead. He’s become a dear friend and we are blessed to have him sharing his pastoral gift with us at Reliance regularly even though Calvary Chapel Whitefish is his home church.
