Calvary Chapel Dallas is a non-denominational Christian fellowship operating in the Dallas area and affiliated with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in California. It began when local believers who had heard Chuck Smith on the radio started a home Bible study and sought a pastor from Costa Mesa to establish a church. In 1980, Bill Philipp moved to Dallas to start the congregation, which soon began meeting in a hotel as it grew, with leadership later passing to Pastor Rick Coburn in 1986. The church emphasizes evangelism, discipleship, and equipping believers for ministry, consistent with its Calvary Chapel affiliation. Located in Plano, Texas, it serves a small- to mid-sized local community, and Coburn’s background includes teaching home Bible studies and directing a Mexican outreach that provided monthly aid to villages and orphans.
