Our Pastors

Pastor Bob Curley

God saved Bob when he was forty years old.   Prior to entering the gospel ministry, Bob did some volunteer work with the Salvation Army, and was involved with Christ for India, an organization that provided support and encouragement to indigenous churches in India.  It was during a trip to India that God began to call Bob to the preaching ministry.  Bob also served as a member of the Board of Directors of Arcadia Christian School in Arcadia, CA for seven years.  In addition to his ministry-related experiences, Bob has completed a career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a Human Resources Director and Associate Warden.  He was a paratrooper with the 101^st Airborne Division and served in Vietnam.  Bob is married and has five adult children and seven grandchildren.
