Abby Meza: Equipped To Educate Through Calvary Chapel University

August 3, 2020 by Josh Luecht

Abby Meza has a rich history of being involved and growing up in Calvary Chapel churches! Her father, grandfather and uncle are all Calvary Chapel pastors!

As a typical Pastor’s kid Abby grew up in ministry roles inside of the church. However, Abby felt a personal call to ministry during a missions trip in middle school! With that in mind she decided to enroll at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, California. It was there that she would meet her future husband Ryan!

After leaving Murrieta, attending another Christian college and not really knowing exactly what the Lord had for her, Abby realized that she wanted to continue to pursue education. Particularly, she wanted to pursue her education, in education! Abby felt the calling from the Lord towards elementary education and in 2017 she began her B.A in Elementary Education through Calvary Chapel University!

When asked what drew Abby to Calvary Chapel University, she is quick to point out that being able to go through school debt free was one of the main attractions for her! As a relative of a Calvary Chapel Pastor she was able to take full advantage of our ministry tuition discount program!

“I have to pay for my education so the discount was incredible!”

Her investment has paid off! Over the summer Abby was offered and accepted a full-time teaching position as a second-grade teacher at Atlantic Christian School!

“I knew I wanted to work at a Christian school and be a Christian teacher…I am so thankful for all that Calvary Chapel University taught and prepared me for!”

Bobby Johnston: God’s Restoration And Grace Through Higher Education

May 2, 2020 by Josh Luecht

Bobby Johnston thought his higher education “career” was over before it ever really even began. After a year and a half of community college he had only earned 5 credits because his addiction was consuming his life and his life circumstances were changing. Because of these roadblocks, education really ended up on the back burner.

After 20 years of struggling with addiction Bobby finally confessed his struggles to his loved ones and the Lord began to take a hold of his life! “A family member took me to U-turn for Christ where I gave my life to the Lord. I fell in love with Jesus and His grace and compassion. My life was completely changed!” Getting involved in U-turn For Christ led to rehabilitation and a radical transformation in Bobby’s life.

After graduating from U-turn For Christ in 2009, Bobby began to look for ways that he could be used by the Lord to help others.

“I have a passion for teaching God’s Word…I know better than anyone the bondage I was in and to be freed from that….it’s truly an act of God’s grace! Therefore my life belongs to Him!”

He became involved at his church, Reliance Church Temecula, California, serving in Jr. High ministry and starting a home Bible study. A huge part of his ministry involves serving others who are struggling with addiction in recovery ministries like U-turn and Steadfast: A Ministry of Restoration in Temecula. Realizing that he needed to be further equipped for ministry, Bobby began taking classes at CCBC in nearby Murrieta, completing his Associates Degree in 2014.

Three years after completing his Associates Degree Bobby was considering how to go about completing a Bachelors degree, when he saw an advertisement on Facebook for Calvary Chapel University. Because of CCU’s agreements with CCBC he was able to receive a discount and in 2019 Bobby completed his B.A. in Biblical Studies with an overall GPA of 4.05!

The opportunity for higher education that was squandered early on due to addiction had been redeemed through his time at Calvary Chapel University!

What an amazing story to see the Lord restoring hopes and dreams that we thought were broken, dead or gone and breathing new life into them! Bobby is a great example of the opportunity that Calvary Chapel University offers to people who can’t relocate to a physical campus, but have a strong desire to be strengthened in their faith and equipped for ministry!

When asked what he would tell someone considering Calvary Chapel University Bobby said “Go for it! It was a task juggling a career and ministry and classes…but it was so worth it! So much of it poured into what I was learning and teaching at the time and to have that Bachelors degree at the end was awesome!”
