Pastor Bryan felt called into the ministry at the age of 15 and was serving as a youth pastor by the age of 19. Three years later, he joined the pastoral staff at Horizon Christian Fellowship. Pastor Bryan started Calvary Chapel San Diego in the South Bay area in September of 1985, at age 24. He has since been pastoring there with his wife Cheryl and their four children Renee, Nathan, Charles, and Tracy.

Calvary Chapel San Diego is a loving community that is thriving on worshipping (in contemporary style music), verse-by-verse teaching of God’s Word and a passionate heart for prayer. Pastor Bryan currently teaches verse-by-verse through the New Testament during two Sunday morning services. He then teaches through the Old Testament Sunday night with a different verse-by-verse message. Pastor Bryan also teaches in-depth studies on Wednesday nights.

Calvary Life Today features Pastor Bryan’s “Words of Encouragement” radio ministry. He is also often a key note speaker at men’s retreats, women’s retreats, and junior high and senior high camps.

Pastor Bryan has a vision for raising up pastors through Calvary Chapel San Diego’s College of Biblical Leadership, a unique pastoral/discipleship program that emphasizes practical, hands-on involvement in ministry. He also has a vision for missions and frequently holds pastor’s conferences to support churches in Europe and South America.
