Calvary Chapel of New Orleans

Pastor Mark Martin – Calvary Community Church, Arizona

Calvary Community Church was started in 1982 by Pastor J. Mark Martin. Calvary, a non-denominational church, started with only 11 people in a northwest Phoenix elementary school band room and today has grown to be the church home for over 12,000. Rapid growth eventually led to the purchase of the present facility, a former shopping center adjacent to the Black Canyon Freeway. Calvary continues to grow enjoying a new, state of the art Children’s Ministries facility and exciting plans for a new extension Campus at 59th Avenue and Bell.
