Minister of Music
Alton (Noonie) Lynch
Alton (Noonie) Lynch has been the Minister of Music for many years. Alton has been blessed for many years to lead the music at several churches in this area. His greatest goal is to help every person really see and feel the Lord in worship through music. Alton and his wife, Linda were married over 40 years before the Lord called her home. They enjoyed living in the Sherman-Denison area. They loved traveling throughout the years. Alton’s favorite food is “authentic” Mexican food accompanied with different and varying hot chiles…really HOT! At Calvary, we make an effort to honor and glorify our Savior, Jesus Christ. Come join as we lift our hearts in praising and worshiping.
