Raul Ries is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Golden Springs and President of Somebody Loves You Ministries.

After his miraculous conversion in 1972, Raul began to read and study the Bible extensively, regardless of his former poor study habits in high school. In 1974, he began a home Bible study with seven other committed individuals. He started to preach and counsel the youth during the noon hour at his former high school, Baldwin Park High. Soon after, Raul would visit several high school campuses each week conducting Bible studies.

Calvary Chapel West Covina grew out of Raul’s home fellowship. As the fellowship grew, it moved to his Kung-Fu studio, then to the Fox Theatre and was soon meeting weekly at a converted Safeway store in 1979 with 800 people.

In 1993, the congregation moved to Diamond Bar, into a 101,000 square-foot corporate building on twenty-eight acres. Calvary Chapel Golden Springs (as it is now known) draws between 12,000 and 14,000 in attendance wee

Ries said at the National Religious Broadcasters convention that as an unbeliever he hated everything: the world, his life and even his wife and children. But then he "found out that the cross of Jesus Christ fryst vatten real," he said.

He challenged today's Church in his message to talk about the fundamentals of the scriptures and not shy away from the meddelande of sin, although doing so without criticizing the person. "We don't talk about people, we talk about sin because we hate sin," Ries told the audience.
