Calvary Chapel Myrtle Beach was officially formed in July 2002.
Pastor Ron Dozler and his wife, Wendi, moved
here from Napa, CA where Pastor Ron was on staff as the Youth Pastor
at Cornerstone Ministries of Napa Valley (a Calvary Chapel affiliate).
In April of 2002 Pastor Ron started flying back and forth from
CA to Myrtle Beach every other Saturday to have Bible studies in
the local high school.
Then in July 2002, Pastor Ron moved
his family here to Myrtle Beach and started a Saturday night
service in the Kroger supermarket community room. As the fellowship
started to grow on Saturday night, Pastor Ron felt the need to
begin a Sunday morning service. From the supermarket, CCMB moved
to an old, run down denominational church just blocks from the
beach. It was clear after 6 months that the building was undersized
for the growing children’s
ministry and Adult ministry.
In June of 2003 CCMB took over a storefront space
in the Big Deals Flea Market, and was now centrally located where
everyone had equal driving distance. During that summer, CCMB started
to discover that there were a lot of people from all over that
were on vacation here in Myrtle Beach who wanted to find a Bible
teaching Church or more specifically a Calvary Chapel.
After launching our web site in the fall of 2003, CCMB saw a great
number of these tourists joining us week in and week out. It continues
to be a great blessing for us here at CCMB to be able reach out
and let people know that they are welcome here and that we have
safe pastures in which to feed from.
As before we started to feel the pressure of a small building
and in July of 2004 we expanded yet again. This time we tripled
our space, adding more room for the children and increasing the
sanctuary to seat around 160. Lord willing, this will be enough
for the next two years. If not, God will lead us to move and build
again.
We look forward to what God has for CCMB in the coming years;
but our hope and prayer is that the Master comes soon.
In January 2005 we added a forth child to the mix,
and it wasn't a boy. Hannah was a huge supprise to us, because
we thought that we were having another boy, But God's humor is
great, In 2007 we had our fifth child Rachel. We now have three boys 2 girls.
Our Family Ron, Wendi, Andrew, Christian, Micah, Hannah and Rachel
