Leadership

Hey, my name is Hagen Miller. I was 16 years old when Jesus changed my life. I was born and raised LDS. When I was a sophomore in high school my best friend invited me to come to his youth group at Calvary Chapel. I went and it radically changed my life. I gave my heart to the Lord and started serving Him. In 2014 I ventured off to college to attend Idaho State University to purse a degree in finance. Before my first year of college was complete I felt the Lord's call on my life to move back to Salmon, so I completed the school year and moved back. I started serving as the youth pastor in the summer of 2015. I worked as a ranch hand, a mail man, and a construction worker until the Lord opened the door for me to come on full time at Calvary Chapel Salmon as the senior pastor in the fall of 2017. My goal is to simply teach the Bible, chapter by chapter and verse by verse, and watch as the power of the word of God, as well as the work of the Holy Spirit make an impact in the lives of people. 

Lee Miles, assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Salmon since 2013, has a very sincere, uplifting presentation of God’s Word. His experience from a rock-and-roll lifestyle prior to his salvation highlights God’s grace throughout Lee's applicable teaching of the Bible.
 
Budding talent from a young age brought its share of trials to the semi-professional musician. Drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity from the mid-70’s to mid-80’s caused strain and eventually divorce in his first marriage, from which he had two children, Brandon and Nicole. By the mid 80’s, Lee had met and married a wonderful woman, Dana (pronounced Dan-uh), and they were primary caregivers to his two children. Lee and Dana had a daughter, Sydney, while living in Sparks, Nevada.
 
Lee surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in 1998, and his service began in worship ministry and studying the Bible. In 2005, he became the assistant pastor at Families in Christ Ministries. God’s hand in events led Lee and Dana to Salmon, Idaho, and Calvary Chapel. Lee continues to apply God’s gift of music to the worship ministry where he feels truly alive while invigorating others as well.
 
Daily Lee falls deeper in love with God, the Lord's people, and desires to see the lost saved through Jesus Christ.

Greetings, my name is Tim Hayden and I have lived in Idaho my whole life and have been blessed to call Salmon home since 2007.  I attended college at Boise State University and at Idaho State University.  At an early age I could feel the Holy Spirit tugging on my heart for Him but not attending church anywhere I was not sure what the feeling really was or how to press into it.  When I was 22 years old, I met a girl at work, and she invited me to attend church with her and her mother.  I quickly fell in love with the Lord, and He began to change my life.  I married that girl in 2000 and being stubborn and immature it took time for the spirit to soften my heart.  Moving to Salmon in 2007, my wife and I began to get plugged into the church.  I helped her in the Sunday school classroom for a year or so and then God called her to be on the worship team and I stayed in the classroom.  It was an honor to serve the Lord together and teach the little children and let them teach us.  Since 2008, God has fueled me to serve the kids through coaching baseball and teaching in the Sunday school classroom as well as teaching for youth group.  God has given me a big heart to pour out into the youth of our community.  In November of 2020, Pastor Hagen asked if I wanted to serve the Lord as Pastor over the Heritage Center and I could see Gods plan for me growing even more.  With prayer and zero hesitation I stepped up to serve. 
I continue to learn and grow as the Lord guides the ministries we serve, and to serve the church family.

Hey! My name is Jordan and I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  I have been blessed with awesome strong believing parents and 6 wonderful siblings. When I graduated High School I knew I wanted to do things a little differently and grow closer to God so I went To Yucca Valley, California, and attended Calvary Bible Institute for a year. While there, Some very important things happened, I made life-long friends, I discovered a passion and calling to ministry, I realized how stupid I was/still am, I grew closer to Jesus in ways I couldn't imagine, I met the Love of my Life Averie Shafer (we got married 6/30/23), and we got called here to Salmon Idaho.
I see my role here at Calvary Chapel Salmon as actively supporting and assisting Pastor Hagen in whatever way I can. I love teaching and hanging out with the kids and also the youths. I'm pretty sure I have the best job in the world. 

Hiii I'm Averie. I was born and raised in Southern California and I had the blessing of growing up in a strong, Christ loving household. At 18, I went to Bible College at Calvary Bible Institute. There was where I could personally say I knew Jesus as my Lord , Savior, and Friend. I learned this whole life thing is for Him and it was about time to start living for Him. Also while I was there I met my now husband, Jordan. Soon after Bible college we were married and the Lord opened doors for us to both serve at the cutest church, Calvary Chapel Salmon, with the best church family of course.  Now I get to serve here alongside my husband every day, which truly is the best love story.
