Our church history
Our church had the honor of being shepherded by Pastor Woody and Apples Calvary for nearly 20 years. Through much prayer and leading of the Holy Spirit the church transferred from Praise Chapel Christian Fellowship to the Reach Church Network and has since changed the name from Praise Chapel Azusa (PC Azusa) to Reach San Gabriel Valley (SGV).
Pastor Woody and Apples had a heart for souls and to minister to other Pastors, their plan was to handover Reach SGV to their son in law and daughter, Raymond and Veronica Delgado, so that they can focus on the Office of Evangelism. However, before the plans could commence Pastor Woody Calvary made his triumphant entry into heaven, on September 22, 2021.
The Lord has given this church new Pastors, a new name and new meeting locations beyond the four walls of a building, God willing we would love to have you partner with us in this exciting journey of reaching the San Gabriel Valley for Christ.
Pastors Raymond & Veronica Delgado
In December 2021, Raymond and Veronica Delgado became the official Pastors over Reach SGV. They have continued with the legacy that God gave Pastor Woody and Apples. Not only were Raymond and Veronica members of the church but they partnered with the vision and calling for this church and served side by side with Pastor Woody and Apples.
The Delgado’s have a 1 Thessalonians 2:4 heart.
“but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.”
God has given Pastor Raymond and Veronica the purpose of being shepherds according to God’s own heart and to feed the flock with God’s knowledge and understanding .
“Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.”
