Pastor Mark Balmer is the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Melbourne in Brevard County, Florida. He was a hospital pharmacy director for 25 years before God called him to plant a new church in the Melbourne-Palm Bay area in 1992. Since that time, God has blessed the congregation of Calvary Chapel Melbourne with tremendous growth. Today many thousands worship each weekend at the main campus in West Melbourne and at video campuses in Viera and Sebastian. Hundreds more watch the services live on the Internet.
God has gifted Mark Balmer as a pastor-teacher with a practical, compelling, and easily-grasped style of communicating the truths of God’s Word. His messages regularly challenge both Christians and unbelievers. His teachings are available on CD, MP3, and DVD and are heard daily on the radio program, “Lessons for Living.”
Mark is supported in ministry by his wife of 44 years, Lynda, who adds her own God-given gifts to the Melbourne fellowship.
