About Us

About Us Overview

Our Purpose

Our purpose at Calvary Chapel Eastside is to glorify God by pointing people to Jesus Christ, who alone is sufficient for our every need. Our greatest desire is to help people know Christ and fully receive His love. In response to His love, we as a church have three goals.

What We Believe

Only through Jesus Christ is eternal life possible-to everyone who receives Him as Savior and Lord. We believe in God's Holy Spirit, given by Jesus Christ to all His people, as a source of strength until Jesus' return.

History of Calvary Chapel

Calvary Chapel began in the late 1960's in one small, non-denominational church. Pastor Chuck Smith, who had spent 17 years in churches throughout California and Arizona, became the pastor of a church in Costa Mesa, California which called itself Calvary Chapel. Through his many years of pastoring, pastor Chuck became convinced that a new approach to ministry was needed.
