About Calvary Chapel Eagle

Located in Idaho’s beautiful Treasure Valley, Calvary Chapel Eagle relaunched in October 2023 under the leadership of Pastor Brenen Beeler. Since then, we’ve seen over 250 first-time commitments to Christ, more than 120 baptisms, and over 30 small groups launched. Our CSM ministry has grown from 5 students to over 80, and we believe we’re just getting started. We’re praying for revival and building a team ready to meet the moment.
