At a young age, God brought Merlyn to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As a young man, Merlyn began to serve God in his local church, from Sunday School teacher to youth ministry and board member.

Merlyn was hired as the executive pastor at Calvary Chapel Eastside in 1999. He loves to disciple men, outreach to the community, has been on dozens of mission trips, and cares for the multiple needs of those who attend CCE in various ways as the Lord, and the senior pastor, Robert, directs.

In 2022, Merlyn and his wife, Lisa, relocated to Yakima, where he continues to enjoy his passion for the Lord and serve as consulting pastor for Calvary Chapel Eastside.

The verse he quotes most often is Hebrews 10:24 “...and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.
