Leader Bio:
Ben Gárate is Sr. Pastor of Calvary Chapel Montrose. He was born and raised in East Los Angeles, California. His family attended a small, Evangelical Pentecostal church and at the age of 13 he went forward to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Sadly, he did not continue to walk with the Lord and had another 13 years in the school of hard knocks.
At the age of 26, Ben rededicated his life to the Lord and has continued to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ to this day. After serving in various ministries at Calvary Chapel Vista, the Lord called him to Colorado to begin a Bible Study in the city of Montrose. In May 1996, he began a small home Bible study with four other families.
Today, Calvary Chapel Montrose is home to approximately 400 believers who are growing in the Word together. Pastor Ben and Judy have been married 34 years, have 4 grown, married children and 11 grandchildren with the hope of more on the way.
It is his desire to “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2

Calvary Chapel Montrose History
Pastor Ben answered the call to come to Colorado from Southern California in January 1995. As an assistant pastor, he and his family came to serve alongside others in establishing a Calvary Chapel-style church in the city of Delta. After a time, some of the families commuting from Montrose asked if a home Bible Study could be done closer to them and the Lord opened the door for the Garates to relocate to Montrose. Starting in May 1996 in a home on South 3rd Street, CCM began meeting once a week on Sunday mornings. In a few short months, God brought a worship leader (we were singing along with a cassett tape!) and more families. When we outgrew the house, we began meeting at the Montrose Chamber of Commerce, with the adults inside the main office and the kids gathering in small groups outside. When winter came, meeting outside was no longer an option so God moved us to the cafeteria and classrooms of Columbine Middle School.
CCM continued to grow, and like Acts 2:47 says, "The Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." Many who have come to call Calvary their home church had never before experienced an expository approach to studying the Bible and were hungry for the verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, book-by-book systematic teaching offered here. With the steady growth through the years, CCM expanded to the Columbine gymnasium and Montrose High School before we were blessed in 2002 with our own space in the "old Walmart building" on Townsend Avenue. Although we occasionaly shift around our Sunday School classrooms to adjust for size, we have been meeting here at 2201 S. Townsend ever since.
All we can say is that God has been faithful - growing the church as He sees fit, blessing us with friends and family and giving us many opportunities to shine His light in our beloved Montrose community.

Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
