Our Team - First Baptist Norfolk

Meet Our Staff

Caleb Lind

Senior Pastor

Caleb and his wife Kayla have been married since 2006 and have two sons and a little girl. As a family they love to be active, play games, eat great food and spend time with people.

Caleb has been in ministry since 2005 and has served the Kingdom of God in various ways throughout that time.

He and Kayla both completed Bachelors Degrees at Friends University, KS where they were involved in athletics and music. After college, they moved to Texas where Caleb completed a Masters of Divinity at Baylor University.

From Texas, they moved to the Kansas City metro area and served at a great, little church for 5 years. They joined the ministry at FBC Norfolk in October 2015 and have been greatly blessed and encouraged during their time here.

Their hope for this church family is that they will be a bright light for God’s Kingdom and allow the Gospel to flow out of their lives, bringing healing and hope to our community and our world.

Abraham Montalvo (Senior)

Latino Pastor

Pastor Abraham and his wife Susanna have been leading the Latino Ministry at FBC since 2010. Pastor Montalvo brings a wealth of experience as he has served as a Pastor in a variety of churches for much of his life. Originally from Veracruz, Mexico, Pastor Abraham has a heart for all Spanish speaking people in the NE Nebraska area. Several members of the Montalvo family are very involved in both the Spanish and English speaking portions of our congregation and we are blessed to have them as a part of our family!

Roberto & Rosa Arreguin

Custodian

Roberto and his wife Rosa are two of the hardest working people we know. Besides their full time jobs at Northeast College they work part time cleaning FBC. Rosa & Roberto have two married daughters and a son, Robbie, and 4 grandkids. They lovingly care for our facility and keep it clean and in tip-top shape so that we can use it for ministry.

Jonathan Montalvo

Worship Leader

First Baptist is so blessed to have Jonathan on our team. Many members of his family have been integral members of the FBC church family and the Latino Ministry for many years. In February 2018, Jonathan joined us in an official capacity to lead our worship through music. Jonathan has an Associates Degree in Music, training in leading worship from Marcos Witt and is currently pursuing an additional Associates in Studio Recording. While Jonathan brings an incredible amount of musical talent and energy into our times of corporate worship, it pales in comparison to the heart that he has to live for and lift up the name of Jesus.

Kelly Parnell

Administrative Assistant

Kelly has served at FBC since April 2004. Before that she was an elementary school teacher for 22 years. Kelly brings a wealth of experience and caring heart as she serves this church family. Kelly’s teachable spirit is evident as she keeps the office running smoothly and works in a variety of ways.

Ashlee Novatny

Nursery Care Provider

Ashlee has been caring for our kiddos at FBC since 2019. She holds an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Ed from Northeast Community College and works full time during the week with NPS Little Panthers Pre-School. We are blessed to have her care for our young kiddos!
