Statement of Faith
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
worshipping Him.
"And he gave some apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ." - Ephesians 4:11-12
