- For no one can lay any foundation other
than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Cor. 3:11

Calvary Chapel of Blythe began in the summer of 1994 as a small home fellowship of eight people as an outreach of Calvary Chapel of Indio. Pastor Mick Catron, the Assistant Pastor at Indio, along with his wife Jan, commuted to Blythe for weekly Bible studies. Over the summer, the group outgrew the home and moved to a local optometrist's office to accommodate more people. A children's ministry soon began in nearby homes.

The Catrons moved to Blythe in September and Sunday services began in October, 1994, at the Blythe Seventh-day Adventist facility. A mid-week study started shortly thereafter. To accommodate families who worked Sunday mornings, a Sunday evening study was also added.

As the church became established and continued to grow, we started looking for a place to call "home." God led us to a vacant warehouse and a major demolition and remodeling project was begun in the summer of 1995. Nov. 5, 1995, almost five months later, we moved into our current facility.

Since the beginning, Calvary Chapel has sought to emphasize a clear understanding of God's Word through practical Bible teaching, and the beauty of expressing our love to God in simple and honest worship. Calvary Chapel's history continues to be written in the lives of the congregation as we grow and share in the love of Jesus, and in ministry to one another and to the community.
