I was the missions Pastor for Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship in Temeulca, CA for about 8 years. It had always been my desire to go out and church plant. In 2006 I was asked to fill in as the Pastor of Calvary Chapel Jerusalem, Israel for 3 months. The experience was amazing, more than that, it stirred my heart even more to go out and being church planting. It was only a few months later when the opportunity came up to begin working in a small community in the Philippines. A year and a half (and a lot of preparation) later I found myslef in in the city of Himamaylan
Along the way Jesus blessed me with the most aamazing woman in the world - my wife Jen. We have been planting a church up in the mountains since November 2008. The desire is simply to love to teach people about Jesus by teaching the BIble. We currently teach more than 5 Bible studies a week. By Jesus grace we hope to see local pastors raised up who can when go out and teach others about he amazing Love of Jesus.

What we believe
Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Our supreme desire is to know Jesus and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are a non-denominational Church, but we are not opposed to denominations, only their tendency to over emphasis the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ.
We believe that the only true basis of Christian Fellowship is His Agape Love, which is greater than any differences we may have. And without His love we have no right to claim ourselves as Christians.

Worship of God should be spiritual, therefore we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
Worship of God should be inspirational, therefore we give great place to music in our worship.
Worship of God should be intelligent, therefore our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching the Word of God that He might instruct us how He would be worshipped.
Worship of God is fruitful, therefore we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
