First and foremost, we are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. He is the Lord of our lives and of this church. We want to live, speak, act and love in a way that honors Him above all else! We are constantly seeking to build all that we are upon the firm foundation of Jesus Christ and the Word of God.

Nor are we the Only True Church. We are not opposed to denominations as such, only the over-emphasis of secondary issues that has led to division in the Body of Christ. God has given us a vision and a purpose that is changing the lives of many people in our community. However, we are not the only local church that has heard from Him or is attempting to be faithful to His commands. Our desire is not to compete with other churches, but to be faithful to the call God has placed on our fellowship in the context of the Body of Christ.

As such, there are certain distinctives that we hold to as we seek to be a witness in our community and equip believers to become disciples.

We teach systematically through the Bible.

We put a greater emphasis on what God has done for us, than what we can do for Him.

We are somewhere between the “Fundamentalist” church and the “Pentecostal” church. We believe all the gifts are to be used according to the directives of scripture.

Our fellowship is much like a family that values communication, informality, spontaneity, personal and corporate growth, freedom of expression, honesty, openness, humor, fun and commitment. As we grow together, we expect to encounter problems and find solutions to them as they arise.

We affirm and appreciate those churches that worship God with a tightly formulated liturgy and structure. However, we have chosen to worship God in a somewhat non-traditional and informal setting.

We place a higher priority on openness, flexibility and practicality, believing that such a climate is conducive for personal, relational and spiritual growth. Being loosely structured allows for change, freshness and innovation.

Many of us have found authoritarian and rule-driven religion to result in spiritual bondage and emotional defeat. Although we make our belief in the Bible and convictions very clear, we do not seek to enforce upon people through rigid authoritarianism. Rather, we trust the Holy Spirit to change people from the inside out as they yield their heart, soul, mind and strength to Him.

We believe that every person has something of value to offer and that people mature spiritually as they serve. We would love it if you would come and grow with us!

The Calvary Chapel Church has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ. We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

We Believe: worship of God should be Spiritual. Therefore: We remain flexible and yielded to the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We Believe: worship of God should be Inspirational. Therefore: We give a great place to music in our worship.

We Believe: worship of God should be Intelligent. Therefore: Our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.

We Believe: worship of God is Fruitful. Therefore: We look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.
