ABOUT US

As a Calvary Chapel, we place a strong emphasis on teaching the Bible verse-by-verse, with a relaxed and casual worship style, and a commitment to the centrality of Jesus and the work of Spirit. We maintain a balanced approach to doctrine without getting caught up in non-essential issues. Our heart is to walk by the Spirit, trust the Lord, love others, and teach the whole counsel of God.

Acts 2:42-47, “And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

Vision: why we do what we do

We exist to glorify God by empowering a generation to live with passion and purpose who are pursuing Jesus together

Values: cultural guidelines for every decision, conversation, and direction we take

CHRIST ABOVE ALL: In everything we do, we ask…does this glorify Christ and point people to Him. If it doesn’t, we reconsider. Our message, methods, and mission must life Jesus high

VERSE BY VERSE: We are committed to the Word of God. Our teaching is rooted in Scripture, taught faithfully and throughly, book by book, verse by verse.

CENTERED ON COMMUNION: Communion is central to our gatherings. We regularly and reverently remember the body and blood of Jesus in worship, celebration, obedience, and gratitude.

SIMPLE AND SINCERE: We don’t complicate things. We speak plainly, act honestly, and lead with humility and servants heart.

PURSUING PEOPLE WITH PURPOSE: We go out of our way to know, love, and serve others. Relationships are not accidental; we pursue them with intention and grace

Rhythms: cultivating a culture of discipleship

PURSUE: The great commission to make disciples is our purpose. Throughout the year, we seek to prayerfully provide opportunities for our church family to engage the least and lost in our community with the hope and love of Jesus.

JESUS: The great commandment to love God and love others is our passion. We are devoted to gathering around Jesus as a unified family to recenter our lives and abide in His Word.

TOGETHER: We grow in Jesus as a discipleship community to be formed by the Spirit and walk in His ways. Small groups are the heart and soul of our church community.
