What We’re About at Calvary Chapel Columbus

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.”     II Timothy 2:15

The roots of CCC stem from the Calvary Chapel movement out of Costa Mesa, Ca, founded by the late Pastor Chuck Smith.  We are a casual, come as you are fellowship of believers. We teach verse by verse through the Bible. Calvary Chapel Columbus has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their overemphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ’s (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess, and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship.

We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped.

We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have been truly worshiping Him.

• We uphold to the complete, authoritative & inerrant Holy Scriptures known as, the Bible.
  I Timothy 3:16-17
• We believe that you are saved by grace through faith not of works less any man should boast. Salvation is obtained through repenting from sin, believing upon & confessing Jesus as Lord & Savior.
  Eph. 2:8, I Cor. 15:1-8, Rom. 10:9-10
• We believe in the active and personal work of the Holy Spirit and all his gifts as prescribed in the scriptures.
  Acts 1:8 & 2:1-13, 1 Cor. 12-14
• We believe in the doctrine of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one.
  Matthew 3:13-17, 28:19-20
• We believe in the great commission as explained by Jesus at the end of the Gospels. Evangelism and outreach is a must and outflow of the ministry of the word of God!   “Go into all the world…”
  Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 21:15-17
• We believe baptism of the believer is important and is a part of the Christian walk, but it is not essential for salvation.
  Romans 10:13, I Cor. 1:10-18
• We believe God set up Male leadership in the church. We believe in the pattern and principle of male leadership and responsibility in both the home and the church, according to the sacrificial example of Jesus. We believe this limits the roles of pastoral leadership and doctrinal authority to qualified men (I Corinthians 11:1-12; I Timothy 2:1-15). We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ                      (I Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16).​
