Bro. Tony Thibodeaux and his wife, Samantha hail from the bayous of South Louisiana. Bro. Tony came to know Jesus at age 12 and at age 19, recognized his calling to the Gospel Ministry. Unfortunately, as he states it, Bro. Tony didn’t surrender until 10 years later. From that time, Bro. Tony has been active in Ministry for the past 14 years serving as Senior Pastor, Associate Pastor, and as a Youth Pastor. Prior to his surrender to the ministry, Bro. Tony served 10 years in the United States Navy. Bro. Tony is a graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he received both his bachelor’s and master’s degree and has aspirations to pursue a doctorate in the future.

Bro. Tony and Samantha have been married for 19 years. Together, they have four loving children: Mackenzie, Madison, A.J., and Gage. Bro. Tony and his family love serving the Lord and are excited about the opportunity to serve Him at Calvary. Bro. Tony’s favorite verse of scripture is Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you” —this is the Lord’s declaration—”plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
