Hunt Valley Baptist Church Staff
Our staff is grateful for the opportunity to serve our church family and community. We are blessed with a team of leaders who love the Lord and care deeply for His people. Each member brings unique gifts and a heart for ministry, helping our church flourish. We invite you to get to know the people who faithfully guide and encourage our congregation.
PASTOR CALEB BOTTRELL, SENIOR PASTOR
In December 2006, God led the Bottrell family to HVBC. Around two years later, Caleb joined the church staff in 2009 and faithfully served until assuming the role of Interim Pastor in 2014. In April 2016, the Lord led Caleb to accept the role of Senior Pastor, where he has been a blessing to the church family through his leadership and care. Known for his hard work, deep love for the Lord, and engaging alliterated sermons, Pastor Caleb faithfully shepherds the congregation. His wife, Mary, oversees the children’s ministries, and they are both grateful to have raised five children.
Pastor gus rodriguez, assistant pastor
In 2007, God led the Rodriguez family through the doors of HVBC. That same year, through the preaching of God’s Word, both Gus and his wife, Laura, were saved and baptized. As the Lord continued to work in their lives, Gus was called into Christian service in 2008 and later joined the staff in June 2012. Today, he serves as an Assistant Pastor, faithfully leading the church music and media ministries, where his skills and dedication have been a blessing to the church family. His wife, Laura, oversees the nursery ministry. Their family has been blessed with five children.

In June 2025, he joined the church staff, where he serves as an Administrative Assistant and Missions Director. His wife, Alicia, serves as the church secretary, and together they are grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord and to be a blessing to the HVBC family.
