Pastor J. Mark Martin

Pastor Mark and his wife, Leslie, co-founded CalvaryPHX in 1982 with just eleven people. And by 1984, Pastor Mark and CalvaryPHX were invited by Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, to join the Calvary Chapel fellowship of churches.

Pastor Mark holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Pacific Union College in Angwin, California. His Bible-teaching radio outreach, Grace Upon Grace, airs locally throughout the week. He is also the author of an email devotional, GraceMail, and the daily devotional books, Psalms Today and Grace Today.

Pastor Mark attributes the moment he began to truly understand God’s grace as a pivotal point in his life. As he began seeking biblical answers, he was ousted by the only spiritual leaders he had ever known. To hear more about that transitional moment and how CalvaryPHX came to be, click here.
