Calvary Chapel

Fantastic group of people! A wonderful example of who we are called to be as a church. From the second we walked up we were welcomed like family. The worship was great. Pastor Bruce was very insightful and gave a great message. He made it personal and gave us something to relate to. I pray that The Lord blesses this congregation as they are a blessing to this wonderful town.

Good things:
— Bible College program, lots of young people coming through and helping out with the church.
— Good solid, practical teaching.
— Strong emphasis on discipleship.
— A heart to train up young leaders. Bible college students and interns were heavily involved while I was there, including leading the Wednesday night service with worship and teaching.
— Warm community, I experienced lots of hospitality while I was there.
— Pastor Bob leads by example.
— Committed to the Bible.
Concerns:
— Their commitment to the Bible leads them to practice church discipline that occasionally escalates into asking people to leave the church. This can be good or bad, it’s a tough line to walk, overall I think they show good discernment but I’m sure some cases haven’t been handled in the best way.
— I experienced fellowship from «the inside» as a Bible College student, I can’t speak from the perspective of a newcomer that nobody knows.
Overall:
The best church experience I have had.
