ELDER & CHILDREN'S LEADER
Johnny Duncan
Johnny D was born in Southern California, not far from where Calvary Chapel first began. His family attended the West Covina congregation and accepted Jesus to be his savior at the age of 8 during a summer Bible camp at Green Oak Ranch. In 1980 his father Don & family moved to Kansas to start Calvary Chapel in Wichita, Ks.
The next 25 years was a battle of flesh and selfishness fueled by PTSD and manifested in drugs, sex, guns & violence. These immoral choices and self destructive behaviors landed him in State and Federal Prisons where God began to reveal and teach him thru the Word about grace, nature of God, forgiveness, identity in Christ and second chances. He now is the father of one child, Assistant Pastor at CCF, Elder on the servant leadership team as he oversees the children’s church and active in prison ministry as he works with various groups to help those in transition.

He grew up knowing about Jesus but never really grasped the depths of God’s love through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Gary spent years trying to find joy in partying and drugs. It wasn’t until spending a few months in a county jail that God was able to draw Gary into a personal relationship with His Son.
Gary accepted the call at Calvary Chapel Fellowship in 2011, later God gave Gary a passion to reach the incarcerated with the message of God’s love with the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. In 2012 Gary began serving inside Correctional Facilities to teach God’s Word.

ELDER & MEN’S MINISTRY LEADER
Pat Taggart
Pat grew up in Wichita Kansas and graduated from East High School in 1971. He attended Wichita State University and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. After attending a wedding in Hays, Kansas he found his life’s partner waiting there for him. Charlene and Pat were married at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Hays, Kansas in June 1976. Seven years later in miraculous ways, both Pat & Charlene were saved at separate times in the Fall of 1983. Because they were in a Navigator’s Bible study when Pat got saved they both were reading and studying the scriptures daily so their lives were immediately transformed. Soon they were walking and preaching the real, live Jesus to all their friends and relatives. Also, both were being taught verse by verse through the scriptures by Pastor Don Duncan which provided a solid foundation for their life with Christ. Pat attended four (4) Promise Keepers events in the 1990s including the million-man “Solemn Assembly” event in Washington DC in October 1997. Pat has a desire to see men grow in their faith and take responsibility for their roles as husband, father, and spiritual leader of their family. Pat and Charlene have five (5) children and (15) fifteen grandchildren.

SOUND / MEDIA / IT
James Richards III
James Richards 3 was born and raised in Wichita, Ks, by James 2 and Teresa Richards. Pastor Don Duncan married my parents and dedicated me as a baby. We attended Calvary Chapel Hillside, the first Calvary Chapel in Wichita that Don Duncan established.
Then, we started going to Cornerstone Fellowship Church where my dad got me involved in helping set up the stage and tear it down weekly at the age of 7. By the time I was 12, I was helping regularly with the sound ministry.
In my later teen years I fell away and started exploring the world, and making some poor decisions. I was confronted about my sin, but I was not ready to deal with it at the time and left the church to avoid the issue.
I went back to my parent’s church, Calvary Chapel Fellowship, and a short time after was preparing for my first child, Amaris. Pastor Wayne Cash confronted me in a very helpful way with Christ’s grace and after Biblical premarital counseling, Samantha and I married were married.
James 3 has been serving in the Sound, Media, and IT Ministries since 2018, now has three beautiful blessings from God.
SECRETARY / TREASURER
Lori Engbrecht
Lori grew up in NW Kansas in a loving Christian home and accepted the Lord as her savior at twelve. Over time though, Lori drifted, as the cares of the world became more dominant in her life. After her Dad passed in 2014, Lori realized that she needed and wanted a personal relationship with Jesus and recommitted her life to Him.
During that time, God put a man in her life that was the perfect one for her. Lori and her husband Clark were married in 2018. During 2020 they began searching for a teaching church that focuses on a verse-by-verse approach to teaching the word of God. They found that in Calvary Chapel Fellowship and through the home fellowships and teaching, continue their walk with the Lord.
At Calvary Chapel Fellowship, Lori found her calling in serving on the children’s ministry and loves pouring into their lives to help them grow up as she did in having that fundamental knowledge of God and knowing that wherever they are in life, He loves them and is always there for them. Lori also enjoys serving as the Secretary/treasurer and the opportunities to love and serve the body.
