Pastors and Worship Leaders
As pastors and church staff, we are here to connect with you, care for you, and help you develop your relationship with Jesus Christ. That means being available to listen to, talk with, pray for, and worship beside you. It means guiding those who seek truth and transformation to the One who freely gives those things. And it means being present to meet the spiritual needs of people wherever they are—whether in church, homes, hospital beds, prison cells, office buildings, coffee houses, or on the streets.

Mike Brazeal Associate Pastor
My first introduction to God was through my grandmother when I was five years old. It was not until I was 19 that God convicted my heart and had some friends invite Cathie (my wife) and me to attend a concert night at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. We pretended to be Christians to appease our friends, but God had other plans for our lives. He opened my "spiritual" eyes to see that I was only deceiving myself. I knew that my decision had to be made that night, or else. I obviously made the right decision and have never regretted for one minute being a Christian.
