message of God's love and grace to a lost
generation in our community. In the late 1980s, we changed our
name from Calvary Chapel Bakersfield to Westbrook Chapel, we have since
changed our name to Calvary Chapel Westbrook in coming back into
affiliation with the Calvary Chapel Fellowships. We have continued to
minister with much effectiveness in our city taking that same simple
message of God's love and grace to a lost world. As one of the three
Calvary Chapel's in our community it is our hearts' desire is to see our
city of Bakersfield won for Jesus Christ by holding fast to the Calvary
Chapel style of ministry which is teaching the word of God line on line
and book by book through the entire Bible and faithfully reaching out to
the lost with the love of God.
Pastor Mike Osthimer and his
wife, Lee, met and served together in the youth ministry back in the
early days of Calvary Chapel Bakersfield serving as volunteers leading
the high school ministry for 7 years. Mike was invited to join the staff
full time at Westbrook in 1994 serving as Associate Pastor. In 2001,
Mike became only the third Senior Pastor in the over 20 years of
ministry that the church has enjoyed in Bakersfield. With a heart for
the Word of God and reaching the lost Pastor Mike and Lee are enjoying
watching the Lord honor the call upon their lives by blessing Calvary
Chapel Westbrook l with a growing body of new believers as well as many
mature saints who are filled with His Spirit and who have a hunger and
thirst for God's Word and a love for one another and the lost.
If you are looking for a church with a
strong emphasis on the teaching of God's Word and how to apply its
timeless truths in your life we invite you to join us in one of the many
services we provide throughout the week. Our worship style is
contemporary and is designed to usher us into the very presence of God
and to prepare our hearts to receive instruction in His Word as we
gather together to glorify His name and to be transformed.
There are many great churches in our city.
We are simply one church that desires to demonstrate our love for God by
loving and serving people. If we can serve you or your family by sharing
the love of Jesus with you, please accept our invitation to join us this
Sunday or Wednesday. We look forward to seeing and worshipping Jesus
with you.
In His Love,
Pastor Mike and the entire
Westbrook family
