About

OUR HISTORY

Our Story is much like other Calvary Chapel's who were formed out of a small group of believers who sought the Lord for a church that would simply teach Word of God, simply. Pastor Joe, his wife Terri and their four children were called by the Lord to plant such a church in Cedar City Utah. Having served fulltime at a Calvary in South Florida, and sensing the Lord’s directing, the Carroll’s relocated to Cedar City to establish a Calvary Chapel. That was June of 2000. Since then, the kids got married,
Pastor Joe and Terri are grandparents, and you could say – ‘the rest is history’. But our history is also our present passion and future. To bring the seeking-soul to Christ and to equip the saints for the works of ministry. It continues to be a joy to serve Him.

Our foundational verse that set it all in motion is Isaiah 42:5-9
