Calvary Chapel Saving Grace’s beginnings were humble. Saving Grace’s pastor, Trent Douglass, was a part of a backyard Bible study that began around a campfire in 1992, in Yorba Linda, Ca. During this time the study grew and lives were being changed. God made it obvious that He was going to use Pastor Trent for ministry; however he was born with a severe reading disability, called dyslexia. Those who knew him laughed at the idea of him becoming a teacher, but God began to give Pastor Trent an incredible desire for His word. 

The Bible study soon outgrew the backyard and God made it evident that He wanted to establish His church. Through a series of miraculous events we were able to obtain our present facility.  Our first official church service was on April 16, 1995. 

Over 30 years later, lives are still being changed by the Lord through Calvary Chapel Saving Grace, both here in Southern California and around the world through our missions ministry, Saving Grace World Missions. Our commitment remains to equip the saints here at the local church, and through our local church to work toward the evangelization and discipleship of all nations. We invite you to become a part of the story that God continues to write through us!
