At Calvary Chapel Eastside, we exist for one great and glorious mission: to glorify God by pointing all people to Jesus Christ—who alone is sufficient for every need and the longing of every heart.
We believe that the greatest thing we can do is help people know Christ, savor His love, and live in joyful obedience to Him. Flowing from this, we pursue three holy ambitions:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37-38)
God is the fountain of life and the treasure of our souls. We exist to worship Him with undivided hearts and unreserved lives. This is why we:
Teach God’s Word, verse by verse, that we might see His glory and learn to love Him as He truly is.
Lift our voices in worship, declaring His greatness with joy and reverence.
Seek Him in prayer, relying on His Spirit to move in power and fulfill His purposes in us.
We long to be a people who say with David, “Your steadfast love is better than life” (Psalm 63:3).
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you.” (John 13:34)
As sons and daughters adopted into God’s family, we’re called to love and serve one another. We long to be a church where:
Strangers become friends and friends become family.
Every person feels both deeply loved and essentially needed.
Fellowship and service knit us together in the bond of peace.
This love is the mark of true discipleship—and a light to the watching world.
“You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
The love of Christ compels us to go beyond our walls:
Individually, we live and share the Gospel in our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
Together, we join the Spirit’s work in making Christ known to the nations.
Our prayer is simple but profound: that Christ’s love would be formed in us and flow through us, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of His glory as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).
At Calvary Chapel Eastside, we hold firmly to the historic truths of the Christian faith, rooted in God’s Word and centered on Jesus Christ.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God—true and without error in the original writings. It is our final authority for faith and life, the foundation for all we believe and practice.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the full deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Only through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord can we receive forgiveness and eternal life.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering us to live godly lives and equipping the Church for ministry. We affirm the gifts of the Spirit as evidence of His presence. We place no emphasis on any one gift, but remain open to all that the Spirit desires to give for the building up of Christ’s body.
We believe all people are lost and in need of salvation. Our only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and His shed blood on the cross.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost:
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ. Together, as His body, we are called to glorify Him and make Him known to the world.
