Calvary Chapel Christchurch is a non-denominational church which began on 23rd May 2002 as a home Bible study in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, led by Pastor Kris Baines.
On 24 May 2009, Jason Winslade was ordained as a Calvary Chapel Pastor and officially began the role as Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Christchurch.
At Calvary Chapel our desire is to bring to maturity each individual member through a consistent study of the whole Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
Calvary Chapel's are best known for their strong emphasis on the teaching of God's Word and the application of that Word to every day life. High importance is also placed on worship which consists of both contemporary and traditional style music, designed to put the believer in a place of intimate communion with God and ready their heart for His Word.
Feeding the flock of God by consistently teaching His Word is the primary focus of Calvary Chapel Christchurch. It is also our main belief concerning evangelism, that "sheep beget sheep" and that as God's people are fed the Word, they will naturally lead others to Christ.
CCC VISION STATEMENT:
"Simply teaching the Word of God,
that we might understand, that we might grow, that we might glorify Jesus Christ" |
