In
the late 1960s, the first Calvary Chapel was started in Costa Mesa,
California, as a small nondenominational church of 25 members,
pastored by Chuck Smith. The Lord blessed that small group, and now
Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa is home to some 30,000 believers, making it
one of the largest churches in America.
From the beginning, Calvary Chapel has been focused on leading people
to Christ and discipling them so that they can go out into the world
and lead others. The Lord has blessed this commitment, and Calvary
Chapel has grown to 850 churches in North America and almost 200
churches in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We
truly take to heart our Lord's command in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even to the end of the age."
Part of Calvary Chapel's discipling ministry is to raise up leaders
and Bible teaches to fulfill the Great Commission. It is primarily
done in the different churches but also at Calvary Chapel's Bible
Colleges, which provides Bible education to thousands at its home
campus in Murrieta, California, and more than 20 extension campuses
worldwide.
Calvary Chapel Southampton began in 2002 as the Lord began stirring
hearts to fellowship on a regular basis
