Welcome from Pastor Dave

Welcome to our home on the web! We appreciate you taking the time to check us out.  Whether you are visiting our website for the first time or even if you call Calvary Chapel your home church, I trust this internet tool will serve as a bridge of understanding to the ministry and vision of this fellowship.

Calvary Chapel Westside began as an outreach home Bible study of Calvary Chapel Finger Lakes, with the encouragement and blessing of Pastor, Bil Gallatin. We were incorporated in 1984 and in 2004, God graciously allowed us to build our current house of worship.

The Lord has risen up a great team of leadership to serve along side me.  I am extremely grateful for these brothers.  Without them, my hands would no doubt be hanging down!  I could confidently say that it is both their hearts desire, as it is my own, to be the best under Shepard’s to the sheep entrusted to us.

Proverbs 29:18 tells us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Therefore, we find it of utmost importance to have a vision, or a “game plan,” from the Lord for our fellowship.  It is simple and yet sufficient; to know Christ and to make Him known to as many people as the Lord wills.  We hope that you will prayerfully consider endeavoring in this journey with us.

I'd like to leave you with one of my favorite scripture verses found in Jeremiah 31:3, “The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”  What an awesome God we have in Jesus Christ!

 

Blessings,

Pastor Dave
