“A home Bible study?” you might ask, raising an eyebrow. That’s how Calvary Tabernacle, or CCD as some call it, began its journey. It all started in 1981, a small group huddled together, listening to Pastor Chuck Smith’s tapes from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, California. They yearned for something more, a shepherd for their growing flock. Reaching out, their prayers were answered in the form of Pastor Bill Philipp, dispatched from sunny San Bernardino, California. He nurtured their faith, guiding them through the scriptures. But like all stories, this chapter closed in 1986 with Pastor Bill’s departure. Stepping onto the scene was Pastor Rick Coburn, a man steeped in the teachings of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Eleven years he had spent there, absorbing the word, preparing for the day he would lead the flock at Calvary Tabernacle. Thirty-three years he dedicated to Calvary Tabernacle, his commitment unwavering until his retirement in 2019. And like a vine that sprouts anew, Pastor Rick’s son, Eric Coburn, took up the mantle. Having honed his skills at Calvary Tabernacle, Pastor Eric answered a different calling in 2013, planting the seeds of faith in Frisco, Texas, with Calvary Chapel Frisco. What began as a humble gathering blossomed into a full-fledged church. But the story doesn’t end there. When Pastor Rick decided to retire, Pastor Eric was called back to Calvary Tabernacle, his journey coming full circle, leading the congregation into a new era of faith and devotion.
