About
Calvary Chapel is a body of believers gathering together under
the lordship of Jesus Christ to worship Him, to be taught by His Word, and grow
in our love for one another. We are conservative in theology and evangelical in
spirit. 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. We believe… That all MEN are sinners by nature and choice and, therefore,
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 and power 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 Christ 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… Also in the laying on of hands for baptism of the Holy Spirit,
for ordination of pastors, elders and deacons, and for receiving gifts of the
Spirit or healing. 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 endless suffering of the
wicked. |
