CALVARY’S WAY-PASTOR GIB ALLEN

Calvary Chapel Orlando began when a group of Disney musicians moved from Southern California to Orlando, Florida in the early 1980’s.

With roots in the Calvary Chapel movement, they formed a Bible study and began their search for a pastor.  In the winter of 1989, God blessed them by calling Pastor Gib Allen to move his family from California to become the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Orlando.

Pastor Gib’s commitment to teaching God’s Word and serving His sheep raised up a mature, thriving congregation that loved Jesus deeply. From its humble beginnings meeting in a classroom on a local college campus, to its purchase of the current 24,000 square foot facility, the Lord used Pastor Gib to preach the truth of Jesus Christ faithfully to the Orlando, Florida community and the world.

After serving loyally for 25 years, Pastor Gib announced his retirement. With the desire to see God continue the great work He’d done since 1989, the leadership team invited Pastor Will Ramirez to lead Calvary Chapel Orlando.
Pastor Gib’s Bible teaching program “Calvary Way”, can be heard on radio stations across the U.S., as well as overseas. An online library of Pastor Gib’s sermons  is also available at pastorgib.com
