Costa Rica

COSTA RICA CHURCH PLANT INITIATIVE.

          Pastor Pat, together with our Elder Board, sensed a clear and compelling  leading of the Holy Spirit to both invest in and be invested in the nation  of Costa Rica. Since joining in partnership with Pastor Chris Arista,  Associate and Worship Pastor Danny Hernandez and their dedicated  team, this burden has grown into a unified vision now known as the  COSTA RICA CHURCH PLANT INITIATIVE.  
          What began as a single step of faith has developed into a Spirit-shaped  mission: to plant 10 new Calvary Chapel churches across Costa Rica  within the next decade, while equipping future pastors, missionaries,  evangelists, and disciple-makers who will continue to spread the  Gospel of Jesus Christ for generations to come.  
         Through this initiative, we aim not only to establish new fellowships, but  to raise up leaders who will reach communities, strengthen the church,  and expand the kingdom of God throughout the nation.

Costa Rica – San Isidro

Palabra Viva

Eight years ago, the Lord called Pastor Chris and Rachel from sunny California and Mexico to plant a church in San Isidro, Costa Rica. Since then, the church has flourished, launching two new plants and becoming the largest Calvary Chapel in the country! Now, Pastor Pat and Melissa, alongside our Elder Board, feel led by the Holy Spirit to help Pastor Chris’s team start 25 new Calvary Chapel churches in Costa Rica over the next decade. Join us in prayer about how you can support this exciting vision and consider being part of one of our advance build teams!
