• Calvary Chapel seeks to declare the whole council of God, Acts 20:27, believing that the best program to achieve this is a systematic study of the entire Bible in an expositional manner.
• Calvary Chapel looks to the New Testament book of Acts as the divine model for the Church. We don't look simply to church history or movements, but rely rather on the Word of God.
• Calvary Chapel has a basic form of leadership that is modeled after the theocracy of Israel as well as the insights of leadership in the New Testament. We believe the Pastor is to lead the church as he feels directed by the Holy Spirit with elders coming alongside, directing the affairs of the church. 1 Timothy 5:17
• Calvary Chapel recognizes the experience of the empowering work of the Holy Spirit as distinct and usually separate from the indwelling of the Spirit that occurs at the point of salvation.
• Calvary Chapel practices a relaxed, casual style of ministry. We do not allow spiritual hype to motivate people, but rely on the teaching of God's Word coupled with the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We teach the Word and trust the Lord to add to the Church such as should be saved.
