MEET OUR PASTORAL STAFF

Senior Pastor Troy Fair has a tremendous vision and calling for Calvary Evangelism Center and Sacramento. From a young age God called Senior Pastor Fair to pastor. He came to Sacramento and Calvary in 1988 to serve as youth pastor and high school teacher at Calvary Christian School. That same year he married Jennifer, and today they have four children- JT, Kati, Timothy, and Trevor.  JT married Brittany in 2014.

He served in many areas of ministry throughout the years including Principal, Superintendent of Schools, Children’s Ministries, Small Groups, and many more. He concurrently served as senior pastor in Woodland, California from 1994-2003. Pastor Fair became senior pastor of Calvary Evangelism Center in 2003.

Senior Pastor Fair has also served in ministry in the United Pentecostal Church Western District as Sectional Youth Director, Christian Education Director, and as Sectional Presbyter.  He currently serves on the United Pentecostal Church International's North American Missions Board.

Bishop Abbey’s life has been an exciting adventure from his youth. He enjoys taking the road less traveled and facing the challenges of climbing the steep mountains, spiritual and physical. He dearly values his wife, Carol, whom he married in 1965, and his three children, Jon, Jennifer, and Joel, as well as his ten grandchildren. 

Bishop Abbey has stated, “I am adventurous in lots of things, not forsaking the tried and true foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Bishop Abbey loves God first, his family second, then the Church of the Living God. He was baptized in the lovely name of Jesus in 1952 and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost on Easter Sunday, 1954. His studies vary from theology and in-depth Bible study, to architecture and design. He was an award winning gymnast in high school, and continues to enjoy many outdoor sports, such as water and snow skiing, racing boats, mountain climbing, fishing, and camping. 

Bishop Abbey came to Sacramento when he was 28 years old. He had been on the evangelistic field, accompanied by his wife and young son, Jon, for three and one-half years, as well as holding a position of assistant pastor for six years. He began ministering at what is now called Calvary Evangelism Center with a tiny congregation. Each year, God added to the Church and Calvary has grown to be a dynamic, multicultural family, worshipping the Father in Spirit and in Truth.
