Calvary Chapel is an international association of independent evangelical churches founded by Pastor Chuck Smith in 1965 in Costa Mesa, California, the movement has grown into a worldwide ministry with over 1,800 fellowships. Each fellowship is known for its focus on verse-by-verse Bible teaching, the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, and a generally casual, non-denominational approach to worship and church life. These autonomous churches often feature contemporary worship music, use informal dress, and emphasize growth in grace through discipleship, though specific styles and practices can vary from location to location.
