About Pastor Lloyd Pulley...

Pastor Lloyd Pulley was born in Michigan in 1958. After the death of his mother when he was 4, Lloyd and his three sisters were raised by his grandmother, whose Christian faith influenced him at a young age.

Years later, Lloyd came to share his grandmother's faith as a student at Michigan State University, where he received Jesus Christ as his personal savior. Lloyd quickly felt led into full-time ministry and decided to abandon a full academic scholarship, his pursuit of an engineering degree, and his college wrestling goals to serve God in a pastoral role.

He moved to California where he became an intern at Calvary Chapel West Covina (now Calvary Chapel Golden Springs). There he met his wife Karen (whom he affectionately calls his Armenian Princess) and began a family while training in the ministry.

In 1984, 4 years after being ordained as an Associate Pastor, Lloyd felt led to plant a church on the East Coast. He once again packed his bags and left a full-time position, his family, and friends to venture out, this time to New Jersey.

The result? In 25 years, Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB) has grown from 3 families to almost 5000 adults and children.

While Pastor Lloyd's focus has been on exhorting the congregation at CCOB, he also has a strong heart for missions and has traveled throughout the world teaching the Bible. He is currently heard daily on Bridging the Gap, the radio-teaching ministry of CCOB, which airs on dozens of radio stations and web sites throughout the United States and abroad.

In addition, Lloyd has authored three books, Walk in Love: Following God's Plan for Marriage, Patient Evangelism: Reaching the Multitudes One at a Time, and Under His Influence: Yielding to the Work of the Holy Spirit.

Lloyd's Bible teaching is encouraging, inspirational, and challenging. His practical insights make the Scriptures easy to understand and applicable in everyday situations.
