What We Believe
Our History
Humble Beginnings
GCF Calgary started as a small church in late 2009 comprised of around ten families gathering weekly. Led by Pastor Cliff Gonzales, a pastor with a heart for God’s Word and God’s people, this church was planted with a mission to know Jesus and make Him known. Officially launching in May 2010, the mission and vision of GCF began to outpour into the city of Calgary.
Growing in Faith and Numbers
God’s faithfulness was evident as families, care group members, and the seven “E” ministries grew in faith and numbers. This prompted meeting venue relocations from homes to office spaces to hall rentals to a shared church space with First Baptist Church. Finally and presently, GCF Calgary found a home at Crescent Heights Baptist Church.
Year after year, new believers and baptisms were witnessed as God moved through His church and His people. Pivotal events in Gospel mission, strengthening the church body and connecting hearts to Jesus included: numerous church family and marriage events, ministry workshops, annual family camps, missionary fundraising events, worship night initiatives, and Kids and Youth ministry outreach events.
An Expanded Leadership Team
In July 2014, Pastor Allan Santos joined the church as Associate Pastor to support Pastor Cliff in shepherding the GCF church family as the needs of connecting people with Jesus and His mission in Calgary continued to grow and unfold. The leadership team and staff continued to grow, including the installation of our Children’s Ministry Director (Jane Guinto) and Administrative Assistant (Mercy Calma), which remain vital ministries in the church.
A New Chapter
In October 2018, a new chapter opened. Pastor Cliff Gonzales relocated to British Columbia to plant and grow the GCF churches there as he also transitions into retirement. Filling the new role as Senior Pastor of GCF Calgary was an expected fit for Pastor Allan Santos as he continues to love and care for the GCF Calgary community. GCF Calgary is excited to continue working with the satellite churches and proclaim the Good News here in Calgary, as the need to know Jesus and make Him known continue.
