Two of the assistant pastors, Carlos Montoya and Rudy Delgado, left on good terms and started Blaze Christian Fellowship, now part of the Acts 29 Network. When the split was granted affiliation with Calvary Chapel Defuria stepped down and the church was briefly reunited under Paul Scozzafava. He was succeeded by Dave Defuria, and under Defuria’s leadership the church split. Tweeten was pastor for fifteen or so years during his tenure the church grew from a handful of people to 1000-1200 people or so. After a short period of time, maybe a couple of years, he returned to Albuquerque and was replaced by Kon Tweeten. It was initially started by Gino Geraci, now the long-time pastor of Calvary South Denver. It was initially started as a Bible study affiliated with Calvary Albuquerque. In this post I’m going to try to describe what and who this church is/are, and in a later post I’ll talk about what I saw and heard there.įrom I think the mid-Eighties until a couple of years ago there was a Calvary Chapel in Santa Fe. I went there this Sunday because I finally had a Sunday to myself, with the rest of the family out of town, and because a kind reader was kind enough to tell me where they are. They are part of the Calvary Chapel Santa Fe family tree, one of four to six churches in the Santa Fe area that could be fairly so described.
