Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia began in 1981 when Pastor Joe Focht started a small bible study in a catering hall. With a strong emphasis on teaching God's Word verse by verse, the church has grown to minister to approximately 10,000 people weekly with a variety of outreaches and ministries.
Pastor Joe currently teaches three Sunday morning services along with evening services on Sunday and Wednesday. His daily bible teaching ministry "Straight from the Heart" is heard in Philadelphia on 560 AM WFIL.
In more than 20 years of ministry on the East Coast, Joe and his wife Cathy have seen their family grow to include four children, while their spiritual family continues to grow.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
