Caleb Elrod

Young Adults / Singles minister

Caleb and his wife, Genevieve, have been married since 2005 and have two sons, Ethan and Carter, whom they homeschool. Their boys are part of the Prestoncrest youth group, and serving, traveling, and experiencing life together as a family has been one of Caleb and Genevieve’s greatest joys.

Caleb is the founder of GTS Life, a nonprofit ministry through which he has taught, mentored, and served alongside churches and young adults throughout the United States and Europe. The work of GTS Life continues internationally, while Caleb now brings that same heart for discipleship, leadership, and walking with young adults as he serves at Prestoncrest.

Prior to entering full-time ministry, Caleb spent 18 years in the corporate world, where he gained experience in business and organizational leadership. His background includes work in professional sports and small-business ownership.

Caleb earned his B.A. in Business Communication from York University and is a certified John C. Maxwell Coach, Grip-Birkman Coach, and PREPARE-ENRICH Facilitator.

Caleb is passionate about helping young adults grow in their relationship with Jesus, discover how God has uniquely equipped them, and find meaningful ways to serve others. He believes some of the most important ministry happens through genuine relationships, honest conversations, and simply making room for people around the table.

When he is not teaching or spending time with people, Caleb enjoys being with his family, traveling, taking long walks, and watching baseball.
