"Here at Calvary Chapel we believe that the church is the only entity on earth that lives solely for the benefit of others. Thus, we believe that we have a marvelous calling: We the church, by the grace of God and the unifying presence of His Holy Spirit, form the Body of Jesus Christ here on earth. We are called, empowered, and enabled by Him to be His full tangible expression to the watching world and to all Believers, as we eagerly await His eminent return. As a result, we desire that all our ministries constantly reflect the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ, fulfilling His glorious calling for 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) |
