The Call:
In September of 2012, God began to ignite a new passion deep within my heart. This new passion, was the call to plant a church, and was something that I had never experienced before. God is continuing to confirm His calling, and give me an intense burden for the task that He is calling my family and me to do. As we began praying for a location, God brought this community to our mind, an
d hearts. We see a great need for a vibrant, Bible centered, community minded church, with the Calvary Chapel DNA. After months of prayer, fasting, counsel, and fact finding trips, we believe that Port Orange is the place that God is calling us to take this venture of faith. We know that God goes before us, and we are expecting the unexpected! Isaiah 41:10 -Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
