Calvary Chapel San Bernardino is an affiliate church of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, pastored by Chuck Smith. Chuck Smith founded Calvary Chapel in 1965, a time when most traditional churches were turning away the next generation because of the length of their hair and the counter-culture life-style which they practiced. Driven by a burden for that generation, Chuck reached out to them with love and understanding and without compromise of Christian principles.
A result of this outreach was the birthing of the "Jesus Movement."
Almost forty years later, Calvary Chapels are still reaching out to the lost and attempting to love the unlovable. They are best known for their strong emphasis on the teaching of God's Word and the application of that Word to every day life. High importance is also placed on worship which consists of contemporary style music, designed to put the believer in a place of intimate communion with God and ready their heart for His Word.
Feeding the flock of God by consistently accurately teaching His Word is the primary focus of Calvary Chapel. It is also our main belief concerning evangelism, that "sheep beget sheep" and that as God's people are fed the Word, they will naturally lead others to Christ.
Calvary Chapel San Bernardino is a fellowship of Christians who believe in JESUS CHRIST the Living Word, and the BIBLE, the written word of GOD.
We exist to Glorify God in:
Up-Reach - Praise and Worship
In-Reach - Building up the Body through the teaching of His Word.
Out-Reach - Sharing the "Good News" and God's Love with a needy world.
The Purpose of Our Church - (Why we exist as a church):
To Be A Worshiping Community
To Be A Working Community
To Be A Witnessing Community
We are a Non-denominational Christian church which began in 1974 as a home Bible study. Our desire is to bring to maturity each individual member through a consistent study of the whole BIBLE, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
