History

Established in 1986.

In May of 1982 Robert and Lisa Furrow were married. The two were praying and seeking a solid Bible– teaching church when one day they noticed an A-​frame sign pointing to a movie theater that said «Calvary Chapel.» They attended the next Sunday and immediately felt at home. Robert began teaching the youth as their first child, Jessica, arrived in 1984. In the fall of 1985, Pastor Skip Heitzig asked Robert to pray about moving to Tucson to begin a Bible study because he was getting many requests for a Calvary in response to his teaching program being broadcast there on the local Christian radio station.

After two weeks of prayer, Robert and Lisa felt confident the Lord was leading them to Tucson. Robert began to fly back and forth from Albuquerque to Tucson to do a Bible study in October of 1985. Seeing the Lord’s blessing, they made a decision to make a permanent move to Tucson, and did so in January of 1986. Since then, the Lord has continued to bless and grow this fellowship.
