Calvary Chapel Wasatch Front / Us

Calvary Chapel Overview Calvary Chapel Wasatch Front is a non-denominational church that is a part of a large group of churches throughout the world. Calvary Chapel began in the sixties with the Jesus People Movement with Chuck Smith and has grown to over a thousand churches. We emphasize the teaching of the Bible verse by verse and have worship that is contemporary in style. Calvary Chapel seeks to maintain orthodox Christian doctrine and we also seek to glorify God with our lives as well. Something else you will see immediately when you attend is that we are casual in our approach to fellowship and ministry. People wearing ties, people wearing jeans and shorts all on the same day is normal and to be expected here.

We see ourselves as a part of the whole Body of Christ, not an exclusive or singular church. For more information see our beliefs section of this website. Locally, our fellowship began in 1995 in Ogden where we still do some ministry outreach . Starting with a Sunday morning service at the Solid Rock Cafe, a little Christian coffee house in downtown Ogden, we later moved to Layton in order to have more room for the growing church. After three years the Layton location was not large enough and we moved to Clearfield and our current location. Now we are filling our new location on a regular basis and looking to the future and all God has for us

Mark Gomez became a Christian in 1976 and began attending Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa with Chuck Smith. Soon after Mark also began attending the Sunday Morning studies done by Dr. Walter Martin as well. “This really helped establish a strong faith for me,” Mark says, “as well as a solid Biblical understanding.” A couple of years later he began serving as an usher and counselor at Calvary Chapel of Downey, Ca. After serving for a few years in many different ministries, Mark began pastoring a Calvary Chapel in 1983 in Southern California. Taking over a small Cavary Chapel in Lakewood, California and pastoring it for eight and a half years, it was the first church he pastored. "Those were learning years" Mark says, "of course, I am still learning, Praise God that He is not afraid of using willing hearts who are committed to Him."

In 1991 Mark and his family moved to Idaho Falls, ID where they helped establish the Calvary Chapel Idaho Falls. In 1995 Mark and his family moved again to here in Utah, where he began this new work in Ogden. Struggling for more room the church, the fellowship moved to Layton and then to the new location in Clearfield. Teaching the scriptures, expounding on God’s word in counseling, and letting the Word of God be a guide for leading the church here in Utah are critical to Pastor Mark. “It is the word of God that changes people’s lives”, he says, “that is where we want to be.” You will find the fellowship here does not want to be involved in gimmicks and programs, everyone wants the teaching of God’s word and letting God change people.

Helping Hands Ministries
This ministry is working to provide assistance for those who are in need due to various hardships that may occur. Whether it is a situation involving surgery, an accident or someone just has a need this ministry is there to provide meals and a helping hand.
Youth and Children’s Ministries
This ministry is meant to provide the youth and children of the church a place to learn about Christ on their own level with their own peers. It is difficult for children and teens sometimes to get anything out of the adult service, so we make this ministry available to help the kids with developing their own life in Christ in a way they can recieve it and enjoy growing spiritually.
Marriage and Couples Ministry
Marriages are always “at risk” in today’s society, there are far too many negative influences pulling on couples today like never before. For this reason we have a team that is dedicated to helping couples with their marriages through counseling, prayer and mentoring as needed for each couple. As a part of this we also try to have an annual couple’s retreat where married couples can get away and concentrate on their marriages.
Ironmen Ministries
This is the Men’s ministry of Calvary Chapel. We have a once a month gathering of the men to pray, fellowship and support each other as brothers in Christ. The name comes from Proverbs which speaks of Iron sharpening Iron, so one man sharpens another. This group gathers to encourage each other in the faith, as well as provide accountability for the men of the church.
The Women’s Ministries of Calvary Chapel
This ministry is just for the women of the church. The women also get together on a regular basis to pray and fellowship. These gatherings provide a place for the ladies to encourage each other in the faith and provide the needed support each women has.
Youth Correctional Facility Ministry
This is a part of our outreach ministries where we have teams go into local youth correctional facilities and minister to the teens who are locked up. We believe the work we are doing here can have a lasting effect upon the lives of the teens we are working with as we bring them the truth of Christ. This involves teaching Bible studies, praying with the teens, and bringing them hope in the Gospel.
Ministry Training
There is always a need for more training. We do not want anyone to enter into a ministry without being trained for the ministry first. We are trying to make available specific directed training for those who are coming forward to serve. This also provides a means to help develop more leaders, we want to see more and more people from the fellowship involved.
Biblical Pastoral Counseling Ministry
There are many people in the church who are hurting from many different issues in their lives. Whether abuse, addictions, or whatever else may come into a believer’s life we want to help. There are no trained psychologists on this staff, only believers who understand and can make application of the scriptures for those who are needing help. We do not pretend to be professional counselors, we believe the word of God can have a more positive effect in the lives of Christians than many other types of counseling.
Living Free Drug & Alcohol Support Ministry
There are people who have given themselves to Christ but are still struggling with addiction problems. We are now providing an alternative support team and a group as needed with a biblical perspective on being healed from such addictions. The key to this ministry is discipling people and showing them how to depend upon Christ instead of whatever they are addicted to. This support group involves Bible Study, prayer, group dialogue and support with the goal of having the membership learn to grow in Christ and become a healthy member of the Body of Christ.
