It began like this...
After becoming a Christian in 1988, our founding Pastor Jim Keavney (then working in the business world) walked into Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in 1999. He began to learn and love the Bible in a special way and he fell in love with
Calvary Chapel's model of making the Bible simple and understandable. After serving in the Youth Ministry,
he went into the pastoral training program and joined the staff of the church.
In 2004 his pastor, Lloyd Pulley, encouraged him to start a Bible study. It was the vision of both Pastor Jim and his wife (Pam) to move to an area where they did not know anyone and see what the Lord would do. Shortly after starting
the Bible study, another pastor approached Pastor Jim about taking over their facility since the church was
closing. Pastor Jim met the landlord and explained they had no money and no bank account. The landlord
decided to "take a chance" on their small bible study group. Two days later, Walmart approached
Pastor Jim to rent the facility from him to conduct their job interviews for their new store
and that money paid their first two months rent!
Three days later, after Walmart approached Pastor Jim on March 6th, 2005 Calvary Chapel Morris Hills had its first service.
The church has seen significant growth and undertaken three building expansions. All this by the grace of God and a simple vision to grow a church with the best taught and best loved people that God would bring us and He has been faithful!
