Meet Our Staff and Leadership

^{Pastor Juan Hartman is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel River Cities. He was born in Oceanside, California, and grew up throughout Southern California. He married his wife, Teresa, in 1998, and they have three children together. After a few years of marriage, they had an encounter with Jesus, and God quickly changed their lives. Guided by the Holy Spirit, Juan and his wife moved their three children to Bullhead City, Arizona, to begin a new life. God led Juan and his family to Calvary Chapel Bullhead City (Calvary Chapel Desert Light), where they attended for 11 years. During this time, Juan developed a passion for teaching and pouring into youth. He was later sought out to be the middle school youth leader. Juan dedicated his time to acquiring a BA in Secondary English and taught at Mohave Accelerated Learning Center while also leading his church's middle school youth group for 10 years. In 2015, Juan and Teresa were called to Calvary Chapel River Cities, formerly Calvary Chapel Mohave. The founding Pastor, Craig Burroughs, retired and passed on the church's leadership to Juan. His Senior Pastor then ordained him at Calvary Chapel Bullhead City. Since 2015, Pastor Juan has served as the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel River Cities.  He and Teresa have three children, Juan, Reyna, and Joshua, as well as four grandchildren.}
