Morning On-Air Radio Host

Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa (CCCM) is a Jesus Formed Community on Mission.

Community, Formation and Mission are the three main ways that we believe we are to live out our discipleship to Jesus. Through Gospel teaching, training, and resources, Gods people are enabled to take their discipleship into their own hands by living out the listening, serving and helping posture of Jesus in our church community.

CCCM will be engaging in the mission of God to reach those who are far from God and his kingdom by engaging in spiritual formation, practicing the way of Jesus through the spiritual disciplines in community and putting the life of Jesus and the community of the spirit on display through non-threatening exposures to the Jesus community. Formation + Community = Mission

The ministry began with the church located in Costa Mesa, CA and has flourished and expanded into a multifaceted ministry, which includes Christian schools, Christian radio stations, Christian radio programs, Christian book distribution, and a Christian bookstore. We are committed to Gods continued work through the ministry at CCCM
