Beginning as a door keeper in the house of the Lord, Rev. C. Reginald Calhoun Sr. soon accepted his call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Licensed at the age of 26, under leadership of Rev. E. V. Jernigan, pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Rev. Calhoun embarked upon his preaching ministry of which has lasted nearly 40 years.

 He first served as assistant pastor at the New Birth M.B.C. Also, during his gospel ministry, he has served 14 years as pastor of the King David Missionary Baptist Church and 2 years as interim pastor for the Church of Divine Guidance. For these past 23 years to the present, he has labored on the ministerial staff of the Greater New Jerusalem M.B.C., now under the pastoral guidance of the Rev. Ryan B Small.

Rev. Calhoun married Kathleen Calhoun in November of 2017. He is the proud father of 4 married adult children; Carl Jr., Zanell Adia, Joshua Caleb, and Kenneth Derrick. He is also the joy filled grandfather of 6 wonderful grandchildren (4 girls and 2 boys). Rev. C. Reginald Calhoun's favorite scripture is Ephesians 2: 8-9, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

His favorite song is, "I Am on the Battlefield for My Lord." Lastly, Rev. Calhoun's determination in Christian living is simply to proclaim the Kingdom of the Father..to share the life of the Son...and to bear witness of the Spirit. As he can often be heard singing...I promised Him that I would serve Him 'till I die. I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.
