Mike mccullough | Lead pastor

Born and raised in Dallas, Mike grew up in the church but it wasn’t until a week at a Christian summer camp in 6th grade that God revealed the truth of the gospel and he place His faith in Jesus. Since then, Mike’s journey with God has been nothing but grace upon grace in getting to serve in many ministry and corporate roles helping build and equip teams.

After graduating from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2008, Mike was ordained and served as a Youth Pastor before moving to plant a church in the north-Dallas area in 2011. He then took a season working in leadership roles at a para-church ministry and also served in the for-profit world. In the fall of 2020 he accepted the role of Executive Pastor at Chantilly Bible Church bringing his heart for the gospel, for God’s church and for building strong teams centered around a common mission.

His met his better half, Erin, while serving on church staff and they were married in 2011. After walking through the hardship of infertility, God blessed Mike and Erin with their three beautiful children (Eli, Maddie and Aiden) through embryo adoption (and they would love to tell you about it!). His joys are spending time with his family, showing no self control when it comes to chips and salsa, playing tennis and guitar (not simultaneously) and prides himself as a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur.

Ultimately, James found that identity in being a child of God, redeemed by His grace, through the Lord Jesus Christ. God has worked powerfully in James’ life through his family, marriage, and even through challenges. He is grateful for how God has used all things to lead James to Him.

CBC’s mission is to make fully devoted followers of Christ who love God and love others. James’ hope is that you will join the CBC family, feel like you belong, and know that you are loved.

Bill Bowers

Bill Bowers grew up in Christian home along the Jersey shore and had the privilege of many Godly men and women teaching and praying for him throughout his youth.  During his freshman year at VA Tech he fully committed his life to Christ through the Navigator campus ministry and was trained to disciple others for Christ over the next 4 plus years.

It was at VA Tech that Bill met his wife, Laura.  They were married shortly after graduation and began ministering together at a bible church in Northern Virginia, focusing on Christian Education, small group, and sports ministries.  

Bill and Laura came to Chantilly Bible Church in 1991 and have served in many ministry roles over the years but their passion is small group and one-on-one ministry with young adults.   

You can usually find Bill working around the coffee ministry on Sunday mornings and he would love to meet you and help you connect with others at the church and to grow into everything that God has designed you to be.

Tom Cantilina

Tom Cantilina grew up in New Jersey, the 4th of 5 children, literally growing up inside the walls of the church where his mom was a church music director and organist.  His faith was formed and grew through many years of family conversations at the dinner table, Sunday school, catechism, and youth group. 

Tom met his wife, Amy, in a campus fellowship during their undergraduate years at Johns Hopkins University where they were both discipled and trained in discipleship and Bible study leadership.  They have been married for nearly 34 years and have 4 children, two grown and two still at home. 

Tom did his medical studies through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and has served in the US Air Force for 30 years, serving as a family practice physician, a commander, and as a medical informaticist through his career across the country and overseas.

Tom loves to dig into the Bible to see the ways God has woven the threads of His story throughout Biblical history, all pointing to the hope of redemption that Jesus offers.  He loves to combine his passion for scripture with his gift of teaching in CBC’s adult Sunday school classes. 

In his scarce free time, Tom also enjoys cycling, running, swimming, tennis, hiking, and triathlon.

Ivan Moody

From birth I grew up attending church with my family where my father was always a pastor. Even though I grew up in a Christian home and had good Bible knowledge, it was not enough to give me complete happiness or real security. At the age of twelve, I realized that I needed a relationship with God and made a positive decision to trust in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I asked him to forgive me of my sins. I was assured by the Holy Spirit of a guaranteed eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During the course of my life I have experienced true peace and joy only available through my relationship and trust in God. Even when dealing with life’s hardships, I am secure & comforted by believing in the eternal promises of God. Because of what God has done for me, through Jesus Christ, I want to serve him and share his gift with others.

John Walbert

John grew up in Pennsylvania, attending church nearly every Sunday.  While the gospel message was not always clearly stated, the truths of the Scripture were always present in his life.  As a teenager, John put his trust in Christ via a Billy Graham crusade on TV.  During his college years, John drifted away from his commitment to Christ, but after graduating and moving to Maryland for his first job with the Federal government, life-changing events led him back to Christ.  While he has never completely left his Pennsylvania roots (a lifelong Phillies and Eagles fan), John moved to Virgina to be nearer to a new job with the government, and there he met his future wife, Kathie.  After they married, John & Kathie moved to Loudoun County where they settled and raised their family.  They are thankful for their three children, their spouses (two are married), and eight grandchildren, all of whom continue to bring them joy during their retirement years.

Jim Zellner

Jim has lived in Fairfax County his entire life, except for the short stint when he and his wife lived in Fairfax City. He accepted Jesus Christ at the age of seven after memorizing John 3:16 for Sunday school at a Plymouth Brethren church in Arlington, Virginia.  He graduated from George Mason University with a degree in electrical engineering and has been working in that field ever since. He and the lovely Mrs. Z began attending CBC in the summer of 2005, and shortly after, he started working as a youth leader.  Jim has taught 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, and 5th-6th Sunday school along with leading children’s worship. Currently, he is teaching Jr. and Sr. high Sunday school and plans to graduate sometime this year.  To rest and rejuvenate, if he can’t play with his grandchildren, he likes to bike, hike, camp, run, swim, fly airplanes, or just about any other outdoor activity.  He aspires to be the oldest man to finish an Ironman Triathlon.  He and his wife, Lorie, have six adult children and five grandchildren and his heart is to see the next generation grow in their love and commitment to God.

Michael Zhao

Michael was raised as an atheist and held the belief that there was no God in the world.  But God did not abandon him. When he went to Virginia Tech graduate school to study physics three decades ago, he was immediately invited to attend a Christian student fellowship, and after a long journey of pursuit he accepted Christ as his savior and Lord. He has been an active member of CBC for two decades, serving in various roles such as teaching Sunday school classes, leading Chinese community groups, and serving as a deacon for several years. He has been serving as an elder since 2020. Michael has been married to his wife Wendy for over 30 years and they have two adult children who love the Lord. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking with family and friends in the beautiful Virginia mountains.
