Navon Aikens

Youth Pastor

Navon was born and raised in Delaware (fun fact: Delaware was the first state to sign the Declaration of Independence). In 2018, while attending Calvary Chapel Bible College, the Lord radically changed his life—and he has never looked back since. Navon’s journey to Calvary Corvallis began through a conversation Pastor Rob had with a close friend. Around that same time, Navon and his wife, Hailey, sensed God clearly leading them into a new season. They felt it was time to step out in faith, say yes to what God was doing, and move closer to family. Navon and his wife are blessed with two incredible sons, Navy and Shylo, and being their dad is one of the greatest joys of his life. He is truly honored to serve as the Youth Pastor at Calvary. Raising up the next generation to know, love, and walk with Jesus is deeply close to his heart. Navon loves encouraging students to pursue Christ wholeheartedly and step boldly into whatever God is calling them to.

When he’s not at church, you’ll likely find Navon drinking good coffee, playing basketball, hitting the gym, or trying new coffee shops and food spots with his wife. He’s also a proud fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Boston Celtics. Navon's favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 1:18 - "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those two are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
