Levi and Lily are high school sweethearts. Levi grew up a preacher’s kid before his dad joined the Air Force as a Chaplain. Both of Lily’s parents served in the Air Force. Levi has a BA in Preaching Ministry and an MDiv with a specialization in Leadership and has served in various capacities at different churches. Lily, an RN BSN graduate of OSF St Francis, has worked in the emergency department and currently works in a cardiovascular surgery clinic.

They both are fans of the historically superior NL Central team, the Saint Louis Cardinals. They both enjoy sitting by a fire and also love a good Harry Potter movie marathon.

Family Minister, Zach Dorrel

Dorrel Family

 

Zach grew up in east central Indiana in the small town of Rushville. He attended college at Indiana Wesleyan University and ended up back home in Rushville where he served at a local church for nearly 7 and a half years.

In summer of 2021 Zach and his wife Nadia moved to the Rockford area and started serving at Calvary shortly afterwards. Zach and his wife Nadia are blessed with 3 wonderful children Calli, Zander, and Emerson. All three  of which bring great joy to their parents.

Zach has been serving with the children and students of the Church since he himself was a student. He has always just been a big kid himself. He loves to have fun but more importantly loves to see students take ownership of their own faith in Jesus. And that is what drives his ministry.

Zach loves being active in many different ways, from taking frequent walks on the sidewalk to hiking the mountains of Arizona. When Zach is not out and about you may be likely to find him at home working on wood projects in the garage. He also loves to build relationships and friendships. So if you want to get to know him just ask and he would love to go get coffee or a bite to eat.
