Meet the Pastor

L-R  Elena Hernandez, Tiffany Hernandez, Samuel Hernandez, Tammy, Matt, Cherie, Michael

Thank you for visiting the Calistoga Seventh-day Adventist Church's website. Here you will be able to obtain a glimpse of the Calistoga Church life. We are a local congregation of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, located at the north end of the world famous Napa Valley. We are a Bible-based Christian fellowship to help people live physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally healthy lives in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus. Our purpose is to know Jesus personally, minister to others as He ministered, and introduce Him and His teachings to others. We have a number of links that will help you learn more about the Bible and getting to know Jesus better, in addition to learning a little bit about us.

My wife, Tammy, and I feel like we're coming home as we pastor the Calistoga Seventh-day Adventist Church. We graduated from Pacific Union College in the early 1980s, and were married in the St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist church soon after.  

We have three adult children: Tiffany who is married to Samuel Hernandez with their daughter, Elena, and one on the way, Michael who resides a mile from his older sister in Texas working in IT at the Arlington Intermediate School District, and Cherie who graduated in 2020 from Pacific Union College here in Napa Valley.

We hope to meet you soon at the Calistoga church. It will be a pleasure learning of your spiritual journey, and how it brings you to our church. May God bless you in your search for Him.

Pastor Matthew F. McMearty
