That different, maybe a little offbeat approach, still heralds the movement Sundays will find the congregation and Gomez generally dressed m jeans or slacks and casual shirts. Anyone m a suit and be would be overdressed. A band provides praise music rather than traditional hymns and the congregation meets m a storefront at 80 N Fort Lane here. But make no mistake, while and Calvary Chapel is Christian, teaching Gods word every week. Calvary Chapel is unique in that we teach the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book. And when were done, we start oveiT said Gomez. There are no sermons. We teach right from the Bible. We do our history and teach from the original language and then tell our people to go home and apply what theyve learned. Gomez is adamant about the churchs message.

Photo by Marv Lynchard storefront location m Layton Because the church roots are m Ogden, many members still come in from Ogden, but the church draws members from as far as Bngham City on the north and Salt Lake City on the south. Currently there are between 40 and 50 families attending although tallying membership isnt easy, because there is no membership role. Theres no collection plate passed on Sunday either. Instead, a box sits at one end of the sanctuary Those who want to give, place their offering m the box. Unless the teaching happens to be on giving the subject never comes up. Yet Gomez said giving has been enough each week for the church to pay its bills. min- Most Calvary Chapels are still found in California, but the movement is spreading until today, there are some 600 Calvary Chapels worldwide. When Gomez first arrived in Utah, there were only Calvary Chapels m Salt Lake and St. George. Today, in addition to those and the one in Layton, there are now churches in Provo, Logan, Cedar City and Park City Many of the Layton congregations members are from They started attending in California or elsewhere and wanted the same type of teaching when they moved here, Gomez said. Its very fulfilling to see what weve done in four years, especially when nobodv asked us to come And, e. folk-roc- mid-wee- Center helps with genealogy I YWA: Britney Marie Holgreen Elder Jim Lundgreen, son of Robert and Sharron Lundgreen, has returned home after successfully serving in the ReafeJoao Pessoa Brazil Mission for Saints.
