Why exist if we're like every other church? We'd rather join others than take up space. Pastor Tim Molter shares in a special message that Calvary's unique expression of God's heart sets us apart, despite shared commonalities with other churches. To learn more, we encourage you to review our Beliefs and Statement of Faith, and read the Calvary Chapel Distinctives. Our hope is that once you know who we are and what we value, that you’ll desire to become apart of our church family.
