Calvary Chapel is a fellowship of non-denominational Christian Churches that began with twenty-five people in Costa Mesa, California in 1965 with Pastor Chuck Smith. Now, over 1500 Calvary Chapel affiliate churches have been established all over the world with the same philosophy. We believe the simple teaching of God?s word, simply, is what will bring real change in the lives and hearts of people. We believe that revival happens when the Spirit of God is working through the Word of God in the people of God, and by that basic truth the people of God will be equipped to reach a lost and dying world with the love of Jesus Christ.
