“Simply Teaching The Bible Simply”

STATEMENT OF FAITH (Source: Calvary Chapel Association Website)

The Scriptures
We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and the infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe that the Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures (Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:3-4, 21). The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8, 48:16; Matthew 28:19-20; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:3). God the Father
We believe in the person of God the Father, an infinite, eternal, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 90:2, 102:27; John 3:16, 4:24; I Timothy 1:17; Titus 1:3). God the Son
We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, his substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth (Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-2, 8:58,11:25; I Corinthians 15:3-4; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; I John 1:2; Revelation 1:8). God the Holy Spirit
We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ (John 16:8-11; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:26, 15:13,16; II Corinthians 3:18; Hebrews 9:14). We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide (John 6:13, 14:16-17, 16:8-11; Romans 8:26). We believe in the Baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinct and separate experience to that of regeneration, occurring either subsequent to or simultaneous with salvation, evidenced by a greater dynamic in the Christian’s life, enabling that person to be a bold and more effective witness. The supreme evidence of the Spirit-filled life is the fruit of the Spirit, love. We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit in regard to the exercise of all biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the instructions given to us (I Corinthians 12-14). Sin
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice, falling short of God’s standard and breaking His commandments – and therefore are under God’s righteous judgment. Yet, God saves and gives new life to all who come to Him in repentance and faith, trusting in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. At the cross, Jesus Christ died in our place as our substitute, absorbing God’s wrath that should have come upon us. Because Jesus died for the sins of the world the invitation to believe is open to all, and whoever desires may come unto Jesus for new life and the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 11:28; John 3:16; Acts 3:19, 20:21; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 8-9; I John 2:2; Revelation 22:17). 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). Ordinances
We believe that the Lord, Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church: the full-immersion water baptism of believers and the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 2:38; I Corinthians 11:23-26). Heaven and Hell
We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord. Those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord (Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:3, 5:22, 18:9, 25:31-34; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Hebrews 12:23; I Peter 1:4; Revelation 14:10-11, 20:11-15). Christ’s Second Coming
We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to Earth and the establishment of His millennial kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless separation of the wicked (Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:11-15). We believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church where all believers will meet the Lord in the air and be taken out of this world prior to the Tribulation that will come upon the earth (Isaiah 26:20; Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:36; Romans 1:18, 5:9; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-16, 5:9; II Peter 2:7-9; Revelation 3:10, 5:7-10, 7:13-14). Marriage
We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female. As such, He created them different so as to complement and complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. Therefore, we perform marriages in accordance with the Bible consistent with the Old and New Testament (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; John 4:16-18; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 5:11, 6:9-11,18-20, 7:1-3,8-9; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7; I Timothy 1:9-11).

30 Days Praying for Persecuted Believers 🙏

Afflictions should not shake the believer’s faith. Persecution is part of the Christian calling. God equips His people to endure it.

Tajikistan (Score: 72/100) - Despite Tajikistan having the highest percentage of Muslims in Central Asia, the country’s secular, dictatorial state maintains a tight grip on all religions. This very much includes Christians – especially those from Protestant groups, who are deemed dangerous followers of ‘deviant’ sects. Those who turn to Christ are at greatest risk of persecution, followed by those involved in non-traditional church communities, such as Baptist, Evangelical and Pentecostal ones, which are active in outreach.

God’s protection assures that persecution cannot defeat His people. Weapons may form, but they cannot prosper against His will. His promises stand unshaken.

Niger (Score: 72/100) - The situation for Christians in Niger has worsened significantly since a coup in 2023, which destabilized an already fragile nation. The instability has emboldened Islamic militants, including those who have vowed allegiance to the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda. In some parts of Niger, these groups operate without much resistance; strict Islamic law is imposed and enforced. Christians who live in rural areas carry the most risk, but throughout the country, former Muslim believers face the most significant persecution.

Endurance under trial brings eternal reward. The crown of life is promised to those who remain faithful. This truth gives hope amid persecution.

Uzbekistan (Score: 73/100) - Despite being a secular state, Uzbekistan can be an enormously challenging place for its small pocket of Christians to express and share their faith. Churches can be hindered by cumbersome and unattainable restrictions. This includes a recently introduced requirement for churches to have a minimum number of members – and yet, for small congregations, that number is impossible to reach. As in many places worldwide, believers are exposed to persecution, particularly those living outside the main urban centers. One hotspot of severe persecution is Fergana Valley, where traditional Islamic values and clan structures are strongest.

God defends His people against persecutors. Their schemes cannot succeed against His power. His presence assures ultimate victory.

Cuba (Score: 73/100) - Christians in Cuba must align with the country’s Communist agenda, and failure to do so can bring pressure and persecution. Dissent is systemically suppressed in Cuba – something Christians know all too well. Those who speak out against the regime, including church leaders and Christian activists, risk arrest, smear campaigns, harassment, restrictions on movement, physical violence and imprisonment. Those who speak out against the government are especially exposed to pressure and persecution–regardless of denomination. However, Evangelicals, Pentecostals and Baptists often face greater obstacles in getting their churches registered, and those involved in house churches are greatly at risk of surveillance.

Stephen’s martyrdom showed forgiveness and faith even in death. His prayer mirrored Christ’s mercy on the cross. His testimony still inspires courage today.

Morocco (Score: 75/100) - Morocco’s monarchy claims descent from the Prophet Muhammad, and it is estimated that 99% of the population is Muslim. It highlights just how rare and risky it is for anyone to turn to Christ – so unusual, that some Christians assume they are the only believers in their region or the entire country. Former Muslim believers are most at risk, particularly in rural areas which are typically more conservative. Those living in urban areas may find it easier to escape family and communal pressures, but they can still face problems.

UNSTOPPABLE MISSION - GOD'S SPIRIT CONTINUES TO WORK - WAIT, PRAY & OBEY!”

“Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.” (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it’; and, ‘Let another take his office.’ “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.”

God promises to be a safe place for the oppressed. Persecuted believers find their hiding place in Him. His refuge is secure and unshakable.

Central African Republic (Score: 75/100) - The already fragile situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) continues to worsen, with conflict in neighboring Sudan adding external pressure. Escalating violence in Sudan risks spilling into CAR, intensifying insecurity for vulnerable populations – especially Christians. Rights violations against Christians are most severe in the northern and eastern regions of the Central African Republic, where armed groups hostile to Christianity exert significant control. Christians of all denominations can be targeted by militants and extremist groups.

Weakness in persecution becomes strength in Christ. God’s power is revealed in human frailty. Suffering becomes the stage for divine strength.

Mauritania (Score: 76/100) - Believers who are former Muslims face severe opposition from their families and surrounding communities. Public expressions of faith by non-Mauritanian Christians can be viewed as proselytizing Muslims. This can lead to imprisonment and deportation. These realities make it largely impossible for anyone to live out their faith in public. Some foreign-born Christians are allowed to worship in specific places but are not permitted to share their faith in any way. Indigenous converts from Islam are the most vulnerable to persecution, particularly in rural areas (though the risk is high even in the capital city).

Persecutors may harm the body but cannot touch the soul. True reverence belongs to God alone. This truth gives courage in the face of danger.

Algeria (Score: 77/100) - Over the past three years, state pressure on Protestant Christians in Algeria has intensified to levels unseen in decades. Authorities have kept previously closed churches shut and ordered others to cease. As a result, all 47 churches under the Evangelical Protestant Church of Algeria (EPA) have halted their activities, and other independent churches have also stopped meeting due to fear of government action. Protestant Christians are heavily targeted, with all churches associated with the Evangelical Protestant Church of Algeria now either closed or forced to cease almost all meetings. Believers who are former Muslims – the majority of Christians in the country – are also vulnerable to family and community challenges.

The early church honored believers who endured persecution with faith. Their patience became a testimony to others. Faithfulness under trial glorifies God.

Maldives (Score: 79/100) - To be Maldivian is to be Muslim – and that makes converting to Christianity extremely dangerous. In this conservative and tightly knit country, where neighbors and shopkeepers could report any signs of deviation, converts must practice their faith in absolute secrecy. That’s because the country’s constitution states the Maldives is ‘100% Muslim’. This is an isolating existence, particularly since there are no official churches in the Maldives. It means attempts to gather as believers are fraught with risk. Given the Maldives’ reputation as a holiday island paradise, persecution towards Christians largely takes place away from the tourist hotspots. Those who convert from Islam face the most severe persecution, while immigrants and migrant workers who share their Christian faith can quickly find themselves in trouble with the authorities.
