Core Beliefs
Calvary Chapel has been formed as a fellowship of believers
in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We Believe..
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 that all people are sinners by nature and choice
and therefore, are under condemnation; that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit to empower for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
WE BELIEVE in the universal Church, the living spiritual body,
of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus committed two ordinances
to the Church: 1) Baptism, and 2) The Lord’s Supper.
We believe in Baptism by immersion and Communion
open to all believers.
WE BELIEVE in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the empowering
Spirit for service, subsequent to or simultaneously
with the indwelling Spirit for salvation.
WE BELIEVE in the laying on of hands for the sending out of
Pastors and Missionaries, and in conjunction with
anointing of oil by the Elders for healing of the sick.
WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible return of Christ to earth
and the establishment of His Kingdom, in the resurrection
of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous
and the endless suffering of the wicked.
WE BELIEVE in what is termed “The Apostles’ Creed”
as embodying fundamental facts of Christian faith.
WE BELIEVE that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
WE BELIEVE that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
WE BELIEVE In God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teaching, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth.
WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the
Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ
and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise
of all the Biblical gifts of the Spirit.
