About Us

Who We Are

Agapé Chapel began in July of 1998 when a group of people from two separate churches got together to form a new church. These people had a vision for a church that would have a firm foundation in their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and, grounded in Him, would devote themselves to proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology, lifting high the name of Jesus in worship, believing firmly in the power of prayer, and sharing Jesus with boldness. These four things have become known as our Four Pillars.

In December of 2012, our current pastor was welcomed in to affiliation with Calvary Chapel. In January of 2013, in acknowledgement of this affiliation, our leadership approved a name change to Calvary Chapel of Raynham. We are blessed and excited to be in fellowship with a movement of churches that God has used mightily to impact His Kingdom.

Chapel Leadership

Here at the Chapel, we are blessed to have both paid and volunteer staff who all play integral roles in the life of our church.

Pastor

Donn Fisher has been our senior pastor since January of 2001 after serving as youth pastor,then associate pastor here at the Chapel. Raised in churches in both the Evangelical Free and Conservative Baptist denominations, Donn began his college education at Eastern Nazarene College before finishing at Calvary Chapel Bible College. Donn was officially welcomed into affiliation with Calvary Chapel in 2012.

Donn and his wife Alisa are the proud parents of four children and are excited to welcome their first grandchild in July of 2022. They are residents of Raynham.

Elders

In addition to Pastor Donn, we are blessed to have several elders. Our elders are part of the spiritual leadership of the church, and are responsible for assisting the pastor in the spiritual oversight of the flock.

Dana Buckner and his wife Diane have been here at Calvary Chapel for over two decades. In addition to being an elder, Dana has served in several areas, most recently being involved with our men’s ministry. He and his wife live in Raynham in one of the oldest houses in town.

William Orlacchio also serves as an elder. He and his wife Paula, along with their three boys, are residents of Dartmouth. William and Paula came to Christ here at CC Raynham and have become an involved part of our church family. 

Mike Davis is the newest elder here at CC Raynham. He brings with him decades of ministry experience from churches in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Mike and his wife Lynn have four kids and three grandchildren, and are residents of Taunton.

Ministry Teams

Following the Biblical pattern of 1 Peter 4:10, we believe everyone in the church has received a gift to be used to serve each other. In addition, we also believe that Ephesians 4:11-16 calls for every equipped person to do their share for the growth of the body. We are blessed to have many Ministry Teams active in doing exactly that, each overseen by a Ministry Team Leader or someone charged with ministry oversight.
