WASHINGTON — A historic church in downtown Washington has called a woman as its senior pastor. Calvary Baptist Church, located only blocks from both the U.S. Capitol and the White House, elected Amy Butler pastor in late June.
Butler, 33, previously was associate pastor of St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans. She will be the ninth senior minister in Calvary’s 141-year history.
Butler was ordained in 1997. A native of Hawaii, she is a graduate of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Prague, Czech Republic. She is married to Mark Butler, a vice president in a graphic design firm. They have three children. (TAB)
