Leadership
Pastor Joseph Gros, a native New Mexican, grew up in a Catholic home. He attended church throughout his childhood, yet never had a personal relationship with the Lord. In 1981, he surrendered his life to Christ and began to have an insatiable desire to study the Bible, share the gospel, and see others come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Joseph met his wife Dea at a youth Bible study in 1981. They began attending Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque and were married in 1982.
One year later, they went on a six-month missions trip with YWAM. Upon returning, they got involved with Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque. Joseph became a kinship leader, where taught Bible studies and led small group discussions. It was during that period that he recognized God’s call on his life to pastor.
In 1992, Joseph, Dea, and their sons Jaired and Jeriah moved to New York to serve as assistant Director of the Persecuted Church Commission, a small missions organization helping the persecuted church in Eastern Europe.
After serving for a year, they felt God’s leading to move back to New Mexico to plant a church. God led them to Silver City, where they began a Bible study in February of 1993.
Since moving to Silver City, God has blessed Joseph and Dea with two beautiful daughters, Aujenae and Ariana. The church has seen steady growth and God’s hand of blessing upon it.
Pastor Joseph gives God thanks and all the credit. He feels privileged and humbled to serve and pastor God’s fold in Silver City, New Mexico.

Dear Pastor Joseph,
I am a fellow servant of the Lord and although you do not know me, I desperately need prayer from you. I know that you are serving the Lord with all of your heart as a full time minister. I am currently a trained Physician but I feel called to preach the Gospel. I serve faithfully at my church and evangelize constantly not only because it is my calling, but because I actually love doing it. I love to talk to others about Christ and about the bible. I would serve the Lord for no money at all because I love doing it, I am doing this now. But my secular job takes all of my energy and my time. This is a burden for me since I am seeking God’s kingdom first and I think more about saving souls than working in a secular profession.
I urgently need you to pray for me in this matter. Please pray that God will open a door for me to find full time work in Christian ministry. Please also pray that this employment can provide enough for my wife, my son and me. I have been serving the Lord for some time now and I feel this is the moment for me to step out in faith and look for work in full time ministry. I will put feet to my faith and I will not let you down on my side, I will diligently try to find ministry work.
Jesus said in Matthew 18:19, as you well know: “… if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.” I believe in this promise of our Lord and I know that our prayers will be heard and answered.
If you have a prayer request please let me know so l can start prayer for you immediately.
Thank you for praying for me.
In Christian love,
Jorge Mares
