ABOUT US
Knowing God & Making Him Known
OUR VISION
Our vision for this church is simple: “To know the Lord Jesus Christ, and to make Him known to others” (Phil 3:10). We believe that the Lord has raised up this ministry primarily, to make disciples for Jesus ("In His teaching the islands will put their hope.”- Isa 42:4) and to be a spiritual hospital ("Comfort my people, says your God.” - Isa 40:1).

Pastor Jason Dennett & his wife Gina
Senior Pastor
I came to Puerto Rico with the U.S. military, as a non-christian, in 1997. After having completed a personal 2 year investigation of the historical, scientific, philosophical, and prophetic evidence for the Bible, and the dedicated friendship of a Christian, I finally gave my life to Christ in August of 1998 at the age of 20. I have had the privilege of walking with Him ever since. I came to Calvary Chapel of PR in 1999 for a weekend seminar on God's Grace. CCPR quickly became my new family, and I began to serve the Lord in any way I could. I quickly developed an insatiable appetite for the Truth of God's Word, and began to devour the Scriptures as much as possible. Now, after having lived in PR and walking with the Lord for about 16 years, I have the wonderful privilege of teaching God's Word and serving as a pastor here in Calvary Chapel PR. The Lord has also graciously blessed me with my beautiful wife, Gina, and two wonderful sons, David and Michael. The Lord is good and gracious to all who look to Him (Ps. 16)!

Pastor Dan Crespo & his wife Lynda
Founding Pastor
My wife, Lynda, myself, and our five children (Nick, Karlee, Gina, Jeremiah, and Sarah) were called by the Lord in 1998 to leave a growing church in Rochester, NY and to relocate to Puerto Rico. We left the church in good hands with a wonderful staff of servants. We arrived on the island in February 1998 and rented a house in Caguas, Puerto Rico. As we met people, the Lord opened several doors for different home Bible studies. Calvary Chapel of Puerto Rico, started in July of 1998 with a handful of people meeting in our home in Caguas, PR. As we grew, we were offered the opportunity to share a building with another Christian church at 122 Condado Ave in Santurce. In October 1998 we moved to that location. After meeting for over one year in Santurce, we started looking for a new place of meeting. The Lord opened the door for us to lease our current location in Los Jardines Shopping Center in Guaynabo. We have met here since May of 2000, and have seen the Lord bless abundantly, with several ministries being birthed to bless and help our community.
Although they have relocated, they still are a vital part of the work here in Puerto Rico, as full-time employees. Their duties & responsibilities require frequent travel to and from Puerto Rico. Pastor Dan continues on as the church administrative pastor, a teaching pastor, and missions pastor. He remains Vice President of the church board. Lynda continues to work as a payroll & HR representative.
