Meet our Pastor

Pastor Joseph Gros

Pastor Joseph Gros met his wife Dea at a youth Bible study in 1981. They began attending Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque and were married in 1982.

One year later, they went on a six-month missions trip with YWAM. Upon returning, they got involved with Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque. Joseph became a kinship leader, where taught Bible studies and led small group discussions. It was during that period that he recognized God’s call on his life to pastor.

In 1992, Joseph, Dea, and their sons Jaired and Jeriah moved to New York to serve as assistant Director of the Persecuted Church Commission, a small missions organization helping the persecuted church in Eastern Europe.

After serving for a year, they felt God’s leading to move back to New Mexico to plant a church. God led them to Silver City, where they began a Bible study in February of 1993.

Since moving to Silver City, God has blessed Joseph and Dea with two beautiful daughters, Aujenae and Ariana. The church has seen steady growth and God’s hand of blessing upon it.

Pastor Joseph gives God thanks and all the credit. He feels privileged and humbled to serve and pastor God’s fold in Silver City, New Mexico.
