calvary chapel camarillo | our mission

"loving God and living His word"

statement of faith:
Calvary Chapel Camarillo has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ. We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (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 Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We Believe: worship of God should be Inspirational.
Therefore: We give a great place to music in our worship.

We Believe: worship of God should be Intelligent.
Therefore: Our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped.

We Believe: worship of God is Fruitful.
Therefore: We look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him


our vision  =  connect + grow + reach

the early church gathered frequently as an assembly, and in smaller groups to encourage authentic relationships and spiritual growth. they learned the Word of God together, they prayed and worshiped together, ate together, and served together. they connected with Jesus and with one another, and they impacted their world.    - acts 2:42-46

connect | with God

we desire to see people connect with God. Jesus is the bridge that allows us to know God and have a personal relationship with Him. a personal relationship with God satisfies, unlike mere religion or ritual. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

grow | close to God & others

we desire to see people experience spiritual growth. growth comes from learning and applying the Word of God. spiritual growth flows not only from a commitment to God and the Bible, but also from significant Christian relationships discovered and developed in smaller groups. growth is manifest by transformed lives that reflect Christ-like character, and a desire to worship God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

reach | our world

our desire is to reach our community and impact our world for God. as we continue to grow, we learn to serve God by serving others. therefore, we provide opportunity for and encourage Christian service. love for others is great evidence of our love for God. Christian love is demonstrated by tangible acts that reach individuals, families, communities, and the world.
