"Here at Calvary Chapel we believe that the church is the only entity on earth that exists solely for the benefit of others. We believe therefore that we have a marvelous calling: We the church, by the Grace of God and His transforming power through the unifying presence of His indwelling Holy Spirit, form the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ here on earth. We are thus called, empowered, and enabled by Him to be the full tangible expression of Himself and His very nature to the watching world and to all Believers, as we await His eminent return. We hope and pray that all our ministry efforts here at Calvary Chapel reflect the Lord Jesus, continue in the Spirit, and fulfill His glorious calling on our lives." -- Pastor Jay

What we are all about...
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him..." -- Colossians 3:12-17 (NIV)
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." -- John 13:35 (NIV) |
