Dear Brother or Sister in Christ:

Thank you for your decision to serve the Lord here at Calvary Chapel.

The desire to serve is a natural and proper response to the work of Christ within you. Where to serve becomes the big question. This Ministry Questionnaire has been designed to help us to get to know you better and to assist you in determining your place in the Body of Christ. Each of us has a unique blend of, talents, traits, gifts, and past experiences that God will use to accomplish His work.

The Apostle Paul uses the “body” as a metaphor to describe how the local church should function. Each one of us is a unique part of the body of Christ, and just like our human bodies each part has a specific purpose. One thing we are attempting to avoid is having you serve in an area of ministry for which you are not designed. One of the main reasons for “burnout” in ministry is the lack of a proper “fit.” Taking your time to fill out the Ministry Questionnaire will reduce the chances of placing you in the wrong area of ministry and maximize the potential for you to experience one of the greatest joys you’ll ever know - being used by God in the capacity for which you were designed.

Ephesians 2 tells us that we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which He planned for us before the foundations of the earth. Enjoy the excitement and challenge of this truth as you complete the enclosed Ministry Questionnaire and find the destiny of your mission for God. Then, have a blast serving with all your heart. Serving others is a wonderful way to use your gifts and talents for the glory of God. We are thankful for those who come along side of us in meeting the needs of the body that God has called us to. May your service be joyful and rewarding as you answer the call God has upon your life.

You might be surprised to see a background consent and waiver form which we have asked you to complete. Please let me encourage you not to let this form intimidate you. Because of the area of ministry you desire to serve in this is a necessary requirement and serves for the protection of everyone involved.  Trust God and He will prove faithful in placing you exactly into the area for which He designed you in the Body of Christ.


In His Grace,
Pastor Rob Taylor
Senior Pastor

Please read Calvary Chapel’s Statement of Faith carefully.

Calvary Chapel has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's 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 leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship.

We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.

We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.

We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human (John 10:33), that He was born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14; Mat. 1:23; Luke 1:34-35), lived a sinless life (Heb. 4:15, 7:26), provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross (1 Cor. 15:3; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 2:9), was bodily raised from the dead (John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:4), ascended back to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19), and ever lives to make intercession for us.

We believe in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth (Acts 1:11; Rev. 19:11-16). He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.

After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.

We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.

We believe in water baptism by immersion and do not regard water baptism as necessary for salvation, but instead see it as an outward sign of an inward change.

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, 6:18-20, 7:1-3 and 7:8-9; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7; 1 Timothy 1:9-11)

Tithing means tenth part. Tithing is giving ten percent of your gross income.
