Who We Are
We are a non-denominational church of ordinary people, saved by the love and
grace of an extraordinary God. Our focus is on teaching the full counsel of God
with life application, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book, from
Genesis through Revelation. We exist to glorify and exalt the living God through a lifestyle of biblical worship as we value God above all earthly things. Our desire is to worship Him with a living faith that is obedient to His Word; to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, (for it is the power unto salvation), and to mature into a body of prolific believers who wholeheartedly follow Jesus, as we delight in His service to others.

Tom Jencsik
Senior Pastor
How it all started...
Pastor Tom grew up with a heart for God, eventually for His word, and for the lives and souls of people. His Calvary Chapel journey began with attending Cornerstone Calvary Chapel in Howell, and it was there that he crossed paths with Pastor John Durante. Tom, and a handful of others, were called by God to assemble and come alongside Pastor John to plant a church where they both resided. That church eventually became Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel in Point Pleasant Beach.
Tom came onboard as an Elder and was ordained for future pastoral ministry. After serving there for 13 years, Tom and his wife Debbie moved further south and officially started Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel at Berkeley in April of 2019. Pastor Tom and Debbie are married for 45 years with three children and 5 grandchildren.
