Meet Our Missionaries!
We prayerfully and financially support nearly 20 different missionaries around the world, some of which originate from Calvary Old Bridge and others whom God has put in our path over the years.
LOCAL MISSIONARIES:
When we think of a missionary, we often think of someone who lives thousands of miles away in a rural village with no internet or running water, but that’s not always the truth. Here at Calvary Old Bridge, we support missionaries who do ministry right here in the United States.
Angela Koczman
Angela is one of our local, homegrown missionaries. She grew up attending Calvary Old Bridge and graduated from our Calvary Christian School. Angela Represents Fellowship of Christian Athletes as the first-ever Middlesex County FCA area representative.
Joseph Fischer
Joseph Fischer also grew up attending Calvary Old Bridge and was on staff at CCOB for several years. He later felt God calling him to do ministry at Rutgers University. Both he and his wife have a heart to serve the college students and to show them the hope of Jesus Christ.
Harry Flaherty
Harry Flaherty serves as the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) New Jersey State Director. He played football, basketball, and baseball all four years at Red Bank Catholic High School and went on to play football and baseball at Holy Cross, on a full scholarship. Harry played pro football with Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Dallas, before going into full time ministry.
Patti Height
Patti Height does local outreach. She is the founder of Out of Egypt Ministries. The ministry first began in 2006 here at Calvary. Today, the ministry has evolved into its own non-profit organization focused on equipping the body of Christ to minister to those who identify as part of the LGBT community.
