Our History
In
1965 Pastor Chuck Smith started his ministry at
Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Beginning with a mere 25
people, he saw God bless his simple, yet consistent
style of teaching straight through the Bible.
Today Calvary Chapel has grown to over 1,500
churches worldwide. With a genuine heart for the
lost, Pastor Chuck made room in his ministry for a
generation of hippies, surfers, and drug addicts.
This generated a stirring of the Holy Spirit, which
spread from the California coast to the Atlantic and
beyond. This movement was instrumental in bringing
thousands of young people to Jesus Christ during the
60s and 70s in what was known as the Jesus People
Movement.
As God expanded his ministry, Pastor Chuck's
visionary leadership saw the birth of other
ministries such as The Word for Today, a
publishing/radio broadcasting ministry which is
heard worldwide. A noted speaker and the author of
over 25 books, Pastor Chuck can be heard daily on
television, radio, and webcasts throughout the
world.
