Meet The ROCK Church Leadership

   

 

   

 

Don and Vivian Shafer

Don Shafer is the founding pastor of the Rock Church of Anchorage.  He met God miraculously as a teenager and after Bible College entered into ministry. Pastor Don’s passion is to see the church become less regimented and stuffy, allowing the Holy Spirit to orchestrate more. He encourages all to listen to God and answer the call to ministry for themselves, often giving opportunity to people to minister in the church. His wife Vivian is a passionate worship leader and loves young people. They have three children.

.

Tom and Renee Galvas

Tom Galvas is a local business owner who has been serving Christ for over 30 years. He was an elder and leader of his own home fellowship for many years at a large church before the Lord led him and his wife Renee, to the Rock Church.  Here he serves as an Elder, bringing wisdom and gentleness to the position. He is a gifted Bible teacher and leads a class on Tuesday nights. Tom also ministers often in the Sunday morning service. His wife Renee has a strong prophetic gifting and is a champion for unity and fellowship at the Rock. They have three adult children who are all serving the Lord.

 

John and Tammy Huffman

John Huffman is a gifted teacher in the body who also has a passion for research.  John’s tireless search for the truth and spirituality makes him an interesting speaker with a wealth of knowledge to impart to his hearers. John has a strong desire to see the church embrace all of the gifts, especially healing, and he champions the cause of walking in the Spirit for the Christian. He and his wife Tammy make a great ministry team. Tammy leads a Christian woman’s book club on Saturdays. The daughter of a dynamic pastoral mom and dad team, Tammy has been in or around ministry all of her life. She has a real heart for God and compassion for hurting women.  She is the mother of two beautiful girls.


Steve and Brenda Robertson

Steve is our dynamic deacon, who works tirelessly behind the scenes to insure that each and every person who attends church on Sunday has a great experience. His wife Brenda is one of our wonderful worship leaders who flows with the Holy Spirit very well. Together this couple brings life and laughter into our midst.



Paul and Amanda Merkel

Paul is the co-founder of the Rock Church of Anchorage and director of his own prison ministry called IRONMAN MINISTRIES. Paul’s passion is leading men who are behind bars to discover the freedom they have in Christ, and he encourages people to be honest with each other in relationships, where healing often comes. Paul also is a motivational speaker who speaks regularly for outside groups about the dangers of alcohol abuse. Paul is married to Amanda and they have two wonderful girls.


Mike and Laura Tolman

Mike is a gifted “up and coming” Bible teacher in his own right.  He currently serves as treasurer for the Rock and his wife Laura is the very capable secretary of the board of directors.  Laura also is a gifted speaker who ministers to the congregation.  They are recently the new parents of a bouncing baby boy.
