Calvary Chapel Open Door is blessed to have a leadership and staff team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our servents team..

Fadi Batarseh

Senior Pastor - a bondservant of Jesus Christ

Arriving in Pasadena, CA, at the age of 15 from his homeland Jordan, Pastor Fadi faced immense challenges. With a heartfelt promise to honor his late father's wishes for a better future, he navigated through a new culture, language barriers, and personal grief of loosing his father. But even as he pursued higher education, a deeper void grew within him. It was his eldest brother's simple, profound witness and advise to, "Seek God," that paved the path to true transformation. This revelation led Pastor Fadi to fully surrender and embrace Jesus Christ in the summer of 2003, marking a profound Spiritual awakening filled with supernatural Peace, Love, and Grace.

Post this life-altering encounter with Jesus Christ, Pastor Fadi's life took a divine trajectory and purpose. He was divinely led by the Holy Spirit to La Palma Park in Anaheim CA, where he began ministering among the homeless, sharing God's compassion and love. This humble beginning was a testament to his unwavering faith and dedication to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. It wasn't long before his calling expanded, leading him to start serving the Lord at Calvary Chapel Open Door in 2005, located just across the street from La Palma Park. Today, Pastor Fadi's life stands as a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as he continues to reach the lost and inspire countless souls, urging them to seek and embrace the great Salvation and life that is in Jesus Christ.
