Meet the Team

Gary Hashley, Senior Pastor

Never intending to be a pastor, Gary enrolled in the Missionary Aviation program at the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music. After three semesters and earning his Private Pilot’s License, God made it plain He had something else in mind other than flying on the mission field. Gary and Rachel married in 1977 and joined the Rural Bible Mission where they ministered to boys and girls in Michigan. Gary was called to pastor his first church in 1982, and that was the beginning of a wonderful adventure that led them here in January of 2007. Gary and Rachel have three grown children, two great sons-in-law and thirteen amazing grandchildren. They love hiking, biking and flying together.


Caleb Fulton, Student Ministries Pastor

Caleb recently came on as Calvary's youth pastor in December 2025, after moving to Gering in November with his wife Carrie, and child Louisa. Caleb works with the 6th-12th grade youth groups and also teaches the high school Sunday school. Originally not wanting to be in ministry, God made it abundantly clear that this is what He wanted Caleb to do. Caleb graduated from Frontier School of the Bible in La Grange, WY in 2023.


Vicki Weber, Office Manager

Vicki and her husband, Kurt, have three adult daughters and seven grandchildren. She was married by Pastor Bonds at Calvary in 1979, so Calvary Memorial is home! Her past work experience includes jobs in the banking arena, ministry office manager roles, and city municipality positions. Now she’s back doing her heart’s desire. After participating in the Divided Kingdom study of the Old Testament by Bible Study Fellowship, she has found Micah 6:8 to be such a blessing: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good, And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Vicki is in awe of how God networks believers and uses all walks of life to glorify Himself. Her husband & her family are her greatest passion. Simple pleasures include tending her garden boxes, canning, reading, Bible studies, convertible rides, fishing, & a good, iced tea.


Jonathan Stout, Calvary Kids Director

Jonathan has been involved with children's ministry from the age of 15. He taught 5 Day clubs through Child Evangelism Fellowship during his time in High School, and served on staff at several camps for 5 summers during college. He has lived in the Scottsbluff/Gering area along with his wife, Cheyenne, since they were married in 2023. Since then God has blessed them with two beautiful daughters, Rose and Lily. It is a privilege for them to be a part of Calvary and they are excited to see how God will use them here in the Children's Ministry.

Deb Stobel, Financial Secretary

Deb and her husband Stan have attended Calvary Memorial Church for over 25 years.  We are blessed to have had her handle the church finances for the past 10 years.   In addition to her accounting work, Deb also enjoys teaching an elementary-aged Sunday school class and playing for the worship team.  She has two grown sons and nine beautiful grandchildren.


Meagan Stobel, Pastoral Assistant

After attending Calvary Memorial Church for almost 10 years, Meagan became a member of the staff in 2017. In 2008, she married Andy, and together they have six beautiful children - Tobin, Evelyn, Lydia, Ari, Ruthie, and Lucy.  Whether it is event planning, maintaining the church website, or helping Gary with a new idea, Meagan enjoys serving at Calvary Memorial Church.  

Andy Stobel, Worship Team Leader and Life Group Director

Andy grew up at Calvary and learned early on the importance of serving; with encouragement from Pastor Charlie Hornick and Nancy Kihlthau, he began leading the congregational singing and directing the church choir while he was in high school. After attending the University of Nebraska-Kearney, he returned to Gering to teach German and English at Gering High School. Today, Andy is thrilled by the opportunity to raise his kids in his home church, where he is a worship team leader and adult LifeGroup teacher.


Mindy Joekel, Women's Ministry Director

Being part of the Women's Ministry activities at Calvary Memorial Church has always been a priority  for Mindy.  So when the opportunity came up, she felt called to become the director.  Mindy's husband John was raised at Calvary, and together they have four beautiful girls.  Mindy loves to bake and makes delicious cakes and cupcakes.
