Garid began his ministry at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa in Southern California in 2004. He had the great privilege of being the pastor and evangelist for the Monday Nights LIVE Bible study with a live radio program for nearly nine years.

"I’ve been so fortunate to have had real-time training under Pastor Chuck Smith, and even more blessed to have my pastor and church’s blessing to be sent out to start a new work."

Garid Beeler planted VISION Calvary Chapel on January 5, 2014 with a campus in Irvine, CA, and plans for another in Los Angeles County with the mission of: Teaching the Bible, Equipping the Saints, and Preaching the Gospel.

“And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
