Duane Farley, Pastor

Duane Farley began his pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church in January 2007. The passion of his life and ministry is to experience and lead others into the delight of Gospel-saturated living. Duane was born and raised in Canton, Ohio. The Lord used his heavy involvement in his local church’s youth group and opportunities to preach as a teenager to give him a heart for the ministry. After submitting to God’s calling on his life, he attended Bob Jones University and Seminary where he received both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Bible.

Pastor Farley and Family

At BJU he met his wife, Mary. They were married in 1998. Mary earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Counseling. During these years of training, the Lord developed the Farleys through various ministry and leadership opportunities. From 2001-2004, Duane and Mary moved to West Hartford, CT where Duane served as a youth and outreach pastor. During this time of ministry Duane was ordained and Elizabeth Grace was born. In the spring of 2004, the Lord guided the Farleys to Louisville, KY where Duane sought to further enhance his theological and ministry preparedness by attending The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He graduated in December 2006 with a Master’s of Divinity degree. From there, the Lord graciously gave the Farleys the desire of their hearts by allowing them to minister again in New England and specifically at Calvary Baptist Church. After moving back to Connecticut the joy of the Farley family was multiplied with the birth of their son, Hudson Taylor.

Duane enjoys reading Christian biographies, visiting significant church history sites, playing basketball and following college football. Mary likewise enjoys reading, socializing, traveling and mothering. Elizabeth energetically enjoys life in general and specifically likes having books read to her, playing with dolls and going to the playground. Right now, Hudson passionately pursues eating and sleeping.
