Cali Eck
Cali Eck is an ordained elder in the Heartland Annual Conference of the Global Methodist Church. Cali and her husband, David, have been married for 30 years and have four children. Outside of ministry, she enjoys time with family, camping, hiking, reading, exploring historic sites, and cheering on her daughter as she pole vaults. She enjoys most sports and is a Thunder fan.
Raised in the Church of God (Anderson), within the Wesleyan Holiness tradition, Cali sensed a call to ministry during her high school years. She earned her undergraduate degree from Mid-America Bible College (Mid-America Christian University) and her Master of Divinity from the School of Theology at Anderson University. She has served in youth and pastoral ministry for 32 years and has been ordained for 11 years.
With a deep love for Scripture, discipleship, and the work of the Holy Spirit, she is passionate about helping and empowering churches and leaders to live their faith out loud and helping young people know Christ and experience His love and grace through youth and children’s camps. She believes the local church is where faith meets everyday life and that true spiritual growth happens within a Christ-centered, supportive community. Cali is especially committed to mentoring leaders, strengthening connectional life, and helping people grow in a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.
