Calvary Chapel Surfside
Staff & Leaders

John Forsythe

John was raised on the beaches of central Florida. He graduated from Melbourne-Hi in 1972 and Florida State in 1976. He then spent the next 29 years in Texas as a marine biologist with the Univ. of Texas in Galveston (another barrier island!). Raised a Methodist, ten years of trying different churches eventually led him to Calvary Chapel of Houston in 1998, where the expositional line by line study of God’s Word revolutionized his heart. He took an early retirement and went on staff at CCHouston where he was ordained. In 2006, John and his wife Opal, moved back to Indialantic, and in 2008 started CC Surfside.
