Marty Yost
Senior Pastor
I hold tight to Matthew 6:33 every day of my life because Jesus is my provider, protector, and my best friend. Seeking Him first in all things is the smartest thing any person could ever do. I promise you the first time you seek Him out in truth and ask Him to come into your life you will never be the same. He radically changed my life and pulled me out of a life-long practice of sin. I was on set working as a professional actor in Hollywood when the Lord introduced Himself to me loud and clear.—“from Hollywood to Heaven” or "from the pits to the pulpit" I like to say. Only Jesus can do that. I love you, Father.
Marty Yost is a graduate of the Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa: School of Ministry with a Diploma in Pastoral Ministry. Marty began his service to the Lord by teaching men’s Bible studies to share his love of Jesus Christ. That faithful service led to seven years of service as the Assistant Pastor of Voyage Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California under the leadership of Sr. Pastor Brent Wagner. In 2018,Pastor Marty stepped out in faith to plant 99.1: A Calvary Chapel Church in Placentia, CA where he spent three years training up true disciples of Christ for the work ahead.
In 2019, the Lord began to burden Marty with returning to his home state of Idaho to serve Him. That gentle nudge became a resounding call in 2020 when a group of 20 believers in the Boise, Idaho area gathered together in a home to watch the 99.1 Church live streams during the pandemic.
After speaking with his family and members of the church family, 13 church members stepped out in faith and agreed to answer the call to serve in Idaho and launch Mountain Heights Calvary Chapel.
Marty and his wife Emily were married in 1999 and have three beautiful children.

Emily Yost
Women's Ministry Leader & Children's Ministry Director
Emily Yost is the wife of Pastor Marty Yost of Mountain Heights Calvary Chapel, a church they planted in Idaho in 2021. She serves as the Women’s Ministry leader and Children’s Ministry Director. From 2010 to 2018, she faithfully served alongside her husband in ministry at Voyage Calvary Chapel (Costa Mesa, CA). In 2018, they stepped out in faith to plant their first church, 99.1: A Calvary Chapel Church in Placentia, CA where she served as both the Women's and Children's Ministry leader. She studied Biblical counseling through The School of Ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.
Emily gave her life to Christ and was baptized at the age of 11 and her testimony is filled with God’s redemption and protection. From being moved from her home state of South Carolina to work for MTV to her running an internationally known actor’s studio where celebrities taught for her (where she met her then, ‘actor husband’), she’s seen first-hand how sin can lead individuals down a path of emptiness and self-destruction. Jesus is the ONLY way!
Pastor Marty and Emily have three children—Jacob (22), Jaclyn (18) and Joshua (15) who are their richest blessings. Not only do the kids love Jesus with their whole hearts, but they have served alongside their parents in ministry for most of their lives.
