background

Meet Our Pastor:

Chris Tagliarini was born and raised in Tampa, FL and trusted Christ as a teenager. He later surrendered to the call to preach and attended Bible College. It was in Bible College that he met his wife Beth.

Chris and Beth were married in Calvary Baptist Church in 2001 and have 4 children – Gracie, Mia, Sammy, and Bella. After serving the Lord in various ministries in and around the Tampa Bay Area, God called Chris and Beth to Beth’s hometown of St. Marys in 2020 and Chris became the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church – the very church in which he and Beth were married nearly 20 years earlier.

Today, the Tagliarinis are blessed to call St. Marys and Calvary home. They are excited for the future of Calvary and to see all that God will do.
