Our Statement of Faith
A Statement of Faith is a written declaration of the church’s position on matters that pertain to the essentials of
historical Christianity. 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.
BIBLE – We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired (“God
breathed out” the original words of the Bible) without error (inerrancy) and the infallible rule (the authority of the 66
Books of the Bible cannot be broken) of faith and practice. The Word of God is the foundation upon which the
church operates and is the basis for which the church is governed. We believe that the Word of God supersedes any
earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures. (Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 10:34-35 and 17:17; 2
Timothy 2:15 and 3:16-17; Ephesians 4:12; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:3-4 and 1:19-21; Matthew 5:18
and 24:35; Acts 17:11 and 20:27; Revelation 19:9 and 21:5 and 22:6).
GOD – 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 things.
(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8 and 48:16; Matthew 28:19-20; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:3).
FATHER – We believe in the person of God the Father, an infinite, eternal, 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 those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.(Deuteronomy 33:27;
Psalms 90:2; Psalms 102:27; John 3:16 and 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Titus 1:3).
SON – We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe
in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, his substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection,
ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth. (Isaiah 7:14; Micah
5:2; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-2, 8:58 and 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Timothy 3:16;
Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 1:2; Revelation 1:8).
HOLY SPIRIT – We believe in the person of 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; (Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:18; John 16:8-11; Romans 8:26 and 15:13,16; Hebrews 9:14), We believe the
Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. (John 6:13,
14:16-17 and 16:8-11; Romans 8:26). The supreme evidence of the Spirit filled life is the fruit of the Spirit, love. We
believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit in regard to the exercise of all biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit
according to the instructions given to us in 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13 and 14.
SIN & SALVATION – We believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice, falling short of God’s standard
and breaking His commandments – and therefore are under condemnation and God’s righteous judgment. Yet God
saves and regenerates or gives new life to all who come to Him in repentance and faith by the Holy Spirit, trusting in
the Person and work of Jesus Christ as they repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. At the cross, Jesus
Christ died in our place as our substitute, absorbing God’s wrath that should have come upon us. Because Jesus died
for the sins of the world the invitation to believe is open to all, and whoever desires may come unto Jesus for new
life and the forgiveness of sins. Our assurance of salvation is based on the perfect and complete salvation God has
provided for us through trusting in Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:23, Acts 3:19, Acts 20:21, Ephesians 2:1-3, Ephesians
2:8-9, 1 John 2:2, John 3:16, Matthew 11:28, Revelation 22:17, Acts 8:15-17; Romans 3:23 , Romans 5:8, Titus 3:5,
John 5:24, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13, Romans 10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10).

LEADERSHIP – We believe in the pattern and principle of male leadership and responsibility in both the home and
the church, according to the sacrificial example of Jesus. We believe this limits the roles of pastoral leadership and
doctrinal authority to qualified men (1 Corinthians 11:1-12, 1 Timothy 2:1-15). We believe in the universal church,
the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ. (1
Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16)
CHURCH ORDINANCES – We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church: (a)
full immersion water baptism of believers, and (b) the Lord’s Supper. Though they are not the means of salvation,
both of these two ordinances visibly and tangibly express the gospel, both of which are open to all believers in Jesus
Christ. We believe that baptism is done in obedience to the Lord and is done once receiving salvation, and that
communion is to be done regularly in remembrance of the Lord’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins. (Matthew
28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; 1 Corinthians 1:17) (Parents we will let you decide on
what age you desire to allow your children to participate in communion to remember Jesus)
ETERNITY – We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and
trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, while those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation
will spend eternity in Hell separated from the Lord. (Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:3, 5:22, 18:9 and 25:31-34; Mark 9:4249; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Hebrews 12:23; 1 Peter 1:4; Revelation 14:10-11 and 20:11-15)
END TIMES – We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to earth and
the establishment of His millennial kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing
of the righteous and endless separation of the wicked. (Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:11-15)
We believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church where all believers will meet the Lord in the air and be
taken out of this world prior to the Tribulation that will come upon the earth. (Isaiah 26:20; Matthew 24:29-31; Luke
21:36; Romans 1:18, 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-16 and 5:9; 2 Peter 2:7-9; Revelation 3:10, 5:7-10 and 7:13-14)
MARRIAGE – We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female. As such He created
them different so as to complement and complete each other in oneness. God instituted monogamous marriage
between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. We also believe
that the Lord Jesus Christ validated the ordinance of marriage and the pattern it follows in the unity and oneness of
Christ and the church. (Matthew 19:4-5, Ephesians 5:31-32 and John 2:1-11) Therefore, we only perform marriages
in accordance with the Bible as defined in both the Old and New Testament. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; John
4:16-18; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 5:11, 6:9-11, 6:18-20, 7:1-3 and 7:8-9; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7;
1 Timothy 1:9-11)
CREATION – We believe the scientific aspects of creation are important but we see a greater need for the
proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ as Sovereign, Creator, Redeemer, and Judge. The doctrines of Creator and
Creation cannot ultimately be divorced from the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that God created Adam (the first
man) and Eve (the first woman), and that their following fall into sin is the basis for the necessity of salvation for
mankind. We believe in a literal 24×6 creation – God created all there is in six 24-hour days. (Genesis 1:1-3:24,
Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 31:17, Matthew 19:4, Mark 10:6, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, Romans 5:12-21, Psalm 33:6-9)
PHYSICAL LIFE – We believe that all human life is sacred and begins at conception (defined as the moment of
fertilization). All human beings are created in the image of God, and must be respected and protected both before
and after birth. We believe that people can experience healing and recovery once coming to Jesus as the Bible says
that there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), and so when we ask Him for
forgiveness, He freely gives it (1 John 1:9). (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13-16, Colossians 1:16, Genesis 9:6, Exodus
20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17)
