CALVARY CHAPEL HISTORY:
Calvary
Chapel Costa Mesa was the very
first of the Calvary Chapel
churches, and found its beginning
in the 1960s when Pastor Chuck
Smith and his wife Kay took on a
struggling little fellowship. Our
nation was going through some
incredible changes during that
time, and the hippies of
sourthern California were
literally everywhere. Their
search for meaning brought many
of them to the place of
investigating the promises of
Scripture, and as a result the
Jesus Movement was born.
Unfortunately many of the
churches in southern California
were uneasy about letting hippies
into their worship services. But
those churches that did
experienced a powerful movement
of the Lord, and an explosion of
growth. Calvary Chapel was one
such church. Click

Movement which spawned the growth
of Calvary Chapel Costa
Mesa. Today there are
over 1000 Calvary Chapels
worldwide.
CALVARY CHAPEL ONTARIO:
Calvary
Chapel Ontario began in December
of 1990, when Pastor Paul
LeBoutillier and his wife, Sue
determined the Lord was calling
them to Ontario, Oregon to start
a new church. The fellowship
began at that time under the name
of Cornerstone Community Church.
Approximately 18 months later the
church became affiliated with
Calvary Chapel. In 1990 Calvary
Chapel Ontario began by assuming
the building and property of a
small Pentecostal church that was
closing its doors. The church
began with just a few families
and, by God's wonderful grace,
has grown to over 700 individuals
attending (men, women and
children) Click here for Statement of Faith and Calvary Distinctives |
