Calvin’s Bio: 

In his two seasons leading the CHCA Football Program, Renfroe and his staff have compiled a record of 14-6, including an MVC Championship, and a birth in the OHSAA Playoffs. 

Under Renfroe’s leadership, the CHCA football program has accomplished the following:

• MVC Conference Champions (2024)

• 2 All-OHSAA Honorees

• Multiple College Football Commitments

• Numerous MVC All-Conference Honorees

• 2 MVC Conference Players of the Year

Prior to his current role at CHCA, Renfroe served as the Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks Coach, and Recruiting Coordinator at Olivet Nazarene University (NAIA) from 2017-2022. During his time at ONU, his offense averaged over 36 points per game, 400+ yards per game, and had an Offensive All-American & Academic All-American every season. Employing an explosive offensive attack, he led ONU to three bowl wins in five seasons and a national playoff appearance in 2020. 

Prior to joining Olivet Nazarene, Renfroe was an Executive Sales leader for Oracle and was based in Atlanta, Georgia. While there, he also coached at Johnson Ferry Christian Academy, winning the Georgia state championship in 2015 and earning two additional title game appearances. After his grandparents passed away, he had a strong conviction to enter coaching full-time and to use football as a ministry.

Renfroe played collegiate football at Trinity International University from 2003 to 2006. During his Trojan tenure, the team achieved two top-20 national rankings and earned a trip to the NAIA National Playoffs.

Renfroe's coaching philosophy is to "equip young men to rise up and become the next generation of leaders for Christ while pursuing football excellence."

Calvin and his wife Lisa live and serve in Cincinnati with their three kids Jaxson, Lyla, and Laney May.
