Who We Are

Calvary Chapel of Auckland has been formed as a fellowship of local believers under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We gather for the purpose of knowing and glorifying Jesus Christ. As individuals in Christ's body we desire to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ.

We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their overemphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We are a church that shares a similar philosophy with Calvary Chapel fellowships throughout the world. As our church grows, we pray that our faith vision will also grow. For that reason we might be called a fellowship subject to changes that God requires.

We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

Why We Exist

Our purpose is three-fold:

ELEVATE GOD: We believe that we should love the Lord our God with whole heart, mind, soul and strength. Loving God is our highest call. All ministry flows from a personal relationship and worship to the living God.

EQUIP THE SAINTS: The Bible reminds us that we being many are one body, joined and fitted together. We are a spiritual family. We believe in mutual ministry "for the equipping of the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 4:12) Thus, we meet in both large and small groups to be trained according to the Bible, which we believe is the "owner's manual" for our lives.

EVANGELIZE THE COMMUNITY: Jesus reminded his disciples; "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on the earth. 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 Sprit, 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." (Matthew 28:18-20) Amen. We desire to reach out to the community that God has placed us in, and the world which we find ourselves in. Our desire is to bring people to Jesus Christ, so that they may receive Him as their Lord and Saviour.

Where You Fit In

First, present yourself to God (Romans 12:1) and see why God has planted you in this fellowship. Then, discover your gifts and the calling of God in your own life.

Second, study to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15). As you grow in your relationship with God, let him prepare you for effective service.

Third, commit yourself to the work of Jesus Christ in this fellowship. Get involved as a yielded vessel to do God's bidding anywhere He directs. We should say, as Isaiah, "Here I am, Send Me!"
