Joey Rozek

The Lord set Joey apart in his early years and gave him a strong passion to lead people to Christ, to inspire others to wholeheartedly live out their faith, and to make disciple-making disciples.

Over the years, Joey has served as a youth pastor, assistant pastor, and lead pastor from the west coast at the original Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, CA, to the east coast in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and then overseas in the UK where he became the founding pastor of Calvary Cambridge for over 10 years. He is a passionate Bible teacher and conference speaker equipping believers to be authentic followers of Christ with an evangelistic, disciple-making, and missions heart.

After turning the church in Cambridge over to the British leadership they raised up, Joey and his family have returned to the US with missionary hearts to begin a new chapter of faith to see restoration in God’s church and to see a harvest of souls as they prepare to church plant in the East Coast of New Jersey, where he now resides with His wife and three children.

Are We Doing What God is Calling Us to Do?

Life moves very quickly, and it is easy to feel like we cannot keep up at times…especially when the New York pace dictates your part of the world. Balancing schedules and making wise decisions are often very challenging in a busy world of diverse options, various pressures and ongoing problems. In order to avoid all of the distractions and attractions of this fallen world, and to keep ourselves from reactin...

Am I Walking in the Spirit?

Life truly begins as we die to ourselves and trust in Christ. Once we receive Jesus into our lives, His Spirit joins with our human spirit, and we become born again as new creations in Christ. Our sinful life is exchanged with the righteous life of Christ. Our lives take on new meaning and true purpose, but this does not mean we are always living according to this newness of life. This is why Paul says, “...

Don’t Underestimate the Power of the Gospel

The Gospel is the "good news" concerning who Christ is and what He has accomplished. It is the power of God to redeem sinful humanity, replace the sinner, remove the sin, release the bondage, reverse the curse and reconcile man to God. When we proclaim the Gospel, we are actually telling Christ's personal testimony about His birth, life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension. O, how glorious is this g...

Three Key Steps in the ART of Letting God Lead

Recently I was given the great privilege of seeing some of the fruit from the youth ministry I pioneered over 15 years ago while speaking at a youth retreat. As I observed those I once encouraged encouraging others, it led me to consider the value of our investments and the way we spread our influence to others as we allow God to lead. As I thought back to the first time I met the present youth pastor, I re...

Pastor, Are You Really Speaking the Language of Your Community

Words are powerful. They give meaning and value and relay a variety of information and ideas to the listener. Words are the building blocks of language and carry the potential to enhance or dampen human relationships. Without the use of words vibrating off of our tongues and sending our conceptual thoughts into the air and then landing on an open ear-way, life as we know it would end up being more shallow, suspect...
