Calvary Chapel Grants Pass Oregon

Jim Burnham grew up in a Christian home in southern California and yet failed to come to know the Lord until after graduating from high school. In the years that followed, the Lord used him in various ministries, serving as a worship leader at Calvary Chapel of Irvine, a missionary to Mexico, and leading Bible studies. Jim moved to Grants Pass in 2007 from a small town in northern California where he had lived since 1990. There, he taught at a local Christian school and served as a pastor at two churches. He was ordained in 1992.

"Tune in, turn on, drop out." That phrase rang out in the 1960's as youth's desperate cry of frustration and despair. Denny Stahl knew the despair and pain of drug addiction until he tuned in and was turned on to the solution to life's emptiness: a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That was in 1969, early in the so-called Jesus Movement among young people throughout the world during the turbulent years of Viet Nam and the Hippie sub-culture.
