Our Story

Pastor David Reynolds

Pastor David Reynolds came to Christ in 1988, while a student at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (then known as Southwest Texas State). A classmate had invited him to a Christian concert (Mylon LeFevre). After the band played for about 45 minutes, Mylon started to talk about what God had done in his life. David realized he needed a Savior that night, and after several days of wrestling with it, he finally surrendered his life to Jesus.
About 6 months later, David started playing guitar in a Christian band. Not long after, he met his wife-to-be, Heather. Together, they started another band, and did concerts in Austin and around Texas for several years. Their heart was to share Christ through the songs they had written, and the testimony of what God had done in their lives.

At the end of 1996, while still pursuing a career in Christian music, David’s pastor asked him to lead worship at Calvary Austin. David soon realized God’s calling to use his musical abilities to serve Him as a worship leader.

In November of 2001, David went on staff full-time as Worship Pastor and Financial Administrator. During the 5 years he spent on staff, he oversaw multiple worship bands, produced and recorded Calvary Austin’s first worship recording, “I Will”, hosted an annual regional worship conference, made several local television appearances with his worship band, served on the Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship Worship Advisory Board, and led worship and taught workshops at regional and national worship conferences.

It was also during this time that the idea of becoming a senior pastor began to stir in his heart. In August of 2006, David and Heather learned of the need for a pastor at Calvary Chapel Aggieland in Bryan/College Station. They quickly realized that God was leading them in that direction. God began to open the way for their family to move to the College Station area, and in November of 2006, David became the senior pastor.

After several years of using temporary locations for services, Calvary Chapel Aggieland found a new home at 903-B Harvey Road in College Station. They also began to go by a new name - Engage Calvary.

David Reynolds received a M.A. in Biblical Studies from Calvary Chapel University in 2018 and is an Adjunct Professor at Calvary Chapel University, teaching undergrad courses in Biblical Leadership. He has a passion to equip believers to serve, to raise up leaders to lead, and to encourage everyone to find freedom in Christ by living in the fullness of the Spirit.

Heather Reynolds

Heather became a believer at the age of 15 years old while attending a church youth retreat. She saw the love of those around her and heard the good news of Jesus’ love for her and responded to the invitation to receive Christ as her Lord and Savior.

Just a few weeks later, she taught Bible passages at a high school youth bible study group. Heather has had a passion and talent for teaching the Bible ever since. She has taught at a variety of settings, including retreats and conferences, both locally and nationally. She is also a singer/songwriter and has led worship and taught workshops at regional and national worship conferences.

Heather has a calling to help those who struggle with mental health concerns. She received her Bachelor’s in Social Work and later her Master’s in Counseling. In her professional life, she has been a national clinical behavioral health trainer, public speaker, and health coach. She has also held several managerial and directorial positions in inpatient mental health and substance abuse settings. Heather is currently in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor and specializes in working with mood disorders, trauma, and addictions.

Driven by a passion to communicate the power of God’s love to transform a life, Heather has a passion and desire to uplift and encourage people in unhealthy relationships, pain, anxiety/depression, and trauma wounds from the past. She wants to see people free of emotional pain and living a life of abundance, peace, and freedom in Christ.
