Leadership

Our journey began when we committed our lives to Jesus during the 'Jesus Revolution' of the 1970s, singing at coffee houses and churches in Northern California. We helped launch Maranatha! Music and The Word For Today ministries in Southern California.

With our eyes on Jesus, our guiding verse is, "Oh let us magnify the Lord, and let us exalt His Name together." (Ps. 34:3). We pray, "Lord, use us in spite of ourselves," and seek to serve others in His name.

In January 2025, John became the Transitional Senior Pastor at Calvary Chapel Sonora, guiding the church through its transition to new leadership. It’s a blessing to be part of this vibrant, Jesus-loving community.

Jason Cameron and his family relocated to Sonora in July 2021, with a heart to serve and guide the youth into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jason is a graduate of the School of Ministry from Calvary Chapel Downey. Currently, he is enrolled at Grand Canyon University as he pursues a bachelor’s degree in Christian Studies, with an Emphasis on Biblical Studies. For the past seven years, he has served the youth in many different capacities, ranging from children’s ministry to young adults, and everything in between. His life verse is Matthew 6:33, which states, “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. The simple teaching of Jesus is the model that guides Jason’s life, and his heart is to see the youth follow suit. 

Jamie, a graduate of Azusa Pacific University, has a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education, with an emphasis in Teaching. Before joining the staff at Calvary Chapel Sonora, she taught school for 14 years at Mother Lode Christian School and was a Middle School Principal for three years. Jamie has been on staff at Calvary Chapel Sonora since 2004. She leads the Women’s and Children’s Ministries. Jamie has a heart to see children come to Jesus at a young age and to grow strong in their faith. As director of Women’s Ministries, her desire is that the women of Calvary Chapel Sonora would feel welcomed and would have many opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. She and her husband, John, have been married since 1981. They have two sons, Jacob, who is married to Adrianna, and Joel. 

Laura, originally from Southern California, accepted Jesus' invitation to follow Him in high school. After graduating from Whittier College in 1985 with a degree in Sociology/Social Work, she moved to Tuolumne County and married John in 1988. They have four adult sons.  In 1990, she earned her teaching credential from Chapman College and spent 16 years teaching 4th grade at Mother Lode Christian School. Now, she participates in the children's ministry at Community Bible Study, enjoying both her time with children and fellowship with other women.

From grade school Courtney knew that she wanted to be in full-time ministry. She graduated from Eugene Bible College in 2006 with a Bachelors in Pastoral and Biblical Studies. It was during her time in college that she met her husband. Together they have three sons. They have lived in Tuolumne county since 2015. Courtney started serving on staff at Calvary Chapel in 2021.
