CALVARY CHAPEL...simple church
OUR BEGINNING
The Lord called out pastor to begin this new work completely by faith in 1997. We began with 3 couples, 10 folding chairs and a simple vision... to be the best fed and most loved church in our community.
At Calvary Chapel we do not have an endless menu of programs, ministries, and meetings that all promise to change your life but actually run you to death. In fact, we have two weekly options (Sunday morning and/or Thursday night) with four basic elements in each.
SIMPLE...AND IT WORKS ANY PLACE ON THE PLANET.
Many churches practice some of these elements. We haven't reinvented "church" we simply practice all 4 in both weekly meetings with no other programs to speak of.
There is nothing wrong with all the EXTRA CHURCH ACTIVITY but the ability to SIMPLIFY means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
OUR NECESSARY;
OUR ONE THING: The Spirit of God takes the Word of God and transforms the People of God (you should read that again!).
* A church that emphasizes the Word without the Spirit dries up.
* A church that emphasizes the Spirit without the Word blows up
* A church that emphasizes the Word and the Spirit grows up.
SIMPLE CHILDCARE PHILOSOPHY-
We have baby/toddler care during both meeting because it would be wrong to make these little ones sit still and remain quiet for this amount of time. However, once a child is old enough to sit still and remain quiet in a school setting we believe they should be in our meeting with their parent(s). Why? Children are influenced by what is modeled front of them by their parent(s). We believe families should attend church meetings together. They need to see you pray, worship, study through the Bible, and observe the Lord's Supper.
