Our pastors love the Lord, the Word of God, and the community in and around Bayview Church.

KEVIN ELWELL | Lead Pastor

Kevin regularly preaches and teaches the Word at Bayview Church and also leads in setting the vision for the church’s ministry.

Kevin and his family of seven have traveled across the Pacific from California to serve the Lord at Bayview Church. They spent 10 years in Southern California before being called to Guam. Kevin served as the head men’s and women’s soccer coach at San Diego Christian College while finishing up his Master of Divinity degree. God then moved them to West Los Angeles where Kevin served at First Baptist Church of West Los Angeles. During this time Pastor Kevin helped move the church through several transitions, the most significant being a church merger. He finished his time in L.A. serving as one of the founding pastors of Cornerstone Church of West Los Angeles. He also completed a Doctor of Ministry degree focusing on growing churches in a postmodern culture from Talbot University.

Guam is familiar territory to the Elwells. Kevin’s wife Melissa grew up in Guam during high school and graduated from Trinity Christian School in Yigo, Guam. Melissa met Kevin in college, when she left Guam on an athletic scholarship. They were married in 1996 and returned to Guam, where Kevin served as the Athletic Director at Trinity Christian School and then Guam International Christian Academy.

The Elwells returned to Guam in 2010 when they began serving at Bayview. Kevin, Melissa, and their five children love the island culture and have invested a lot of their life into friendships in the island community. Outside of church, you can most likely find them involved in the fitness community, coaching local teams, or playing at a local concert. Pastor Kevin expresses the desire to stay long term in ministry at Bayview to see out the fruition of loving the island culture and its people with a commitment to the Gospel and God’s glory.

ANDREW GRAVES | Elder

Andrew was born and raised in California, where he grew up in a Christian home, attending a Baptist church and Lutheran primary school.

Andrew and his family were called to Guam by his service in the military. Through this, God was gracious in leading his family to Bayview Church, where they have faithfully served in various ministries including nursery, children’s ministry, community groups, and young adults.

Outside the church, Andrew has had the privilege of practicing medicine, where he is able to serve the local community of Guam. In addition, God has blessed Andrew with his wife Denise, and three healthy children: Sienna, Nathaniel, and Elijah. Their family enjoys island life, beach volleyball, paddleboarding, surfing, and snorkeling.

Steve came to Christ in 2005 and has served the church as a community group leader, in food ministry, and in tutoring ministry for underprivileged children.
