"In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity"

- Augustine

We believe the church is best organized locally, led by the pastor, and directed by a team of elders (forming the Leadership Team). 

The leadership team is responsible for the spiritual well-being of the church and oversight of the financials. The staff oversees the day-to-day activities, facilities, and ministries. The volunteers are the hands and feet of getting things accomplished.  

We are a nondenominational church. Meaning, we have no external human authority overseeing us. Although we are not affiliated with the Calvary Chapel Association of churches, we are very similar.   We have expositional, verse-by-verse preaching, and our worship style is modern and culturally relevant.

We affirm... the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as well as the historic truths reestablished in the Protestant Reformation:

• Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
• Sola Fide (Faith Alone)
• Solus Christus (Christ Alone)
• Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)
• Soli Deo Gloria (Glory Of God Alone)

We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God, “breathed out by God” (2 Timothy 3:16–17), without error in the original manuscripts, the final authority in all matters of faith and life (Psalm 19:7–11; John 17:17). It is God’s complete revelation for salvation and the believer’s unfailing guide for living.

We believe in one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5–6), Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:16), eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14), co-equal in glory, majesty, and power.

We believe in the full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9); His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35); His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15); His substitutionary and atoning death on the cross (Isaiah 53:5–6; 1 Peter 3:18); His bodily resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9–11; Hebrews 1:3); and His personal, imminent return in glory (John 14:3; Revelation 22:12).

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16–17; Romans 8:9–11), who regenerates, indwells, sanctifies, and empowers every believer for godly living and service (Titus 3:5–6; Galatians 5:22–23; Acts 1:8).

We believe that man was created by God in His image, male and female (Genesis 1:26–27), to glorify and enjoy Him forever. Through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the world (Romans 5:12), bringing spiritual death—separation from God—and physical death (Genesis 3:19). All people are sinners by nature and by choice (Romans 3:10–12, 23) and are without hope apart from God’s grace.

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9; Acts 4:12). Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3–4), and all who trust in Him are justified—declared righteous—by His shed blood (Romans 5:8–9; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people (John 5:28–29): everlasting joy in the presence of God for the redeemed (Revelation 21:3–4; Philippians 3:20–21) and everlasting conscious punishment for those who reject God’s salvation in Christ (Matthew 25:46; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9).

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: To Reach Pueblo and To Live the Life.

"To Reach Pueblo"

• We want the people of Pueblo to know the hope found in Jesus Christ.
• That means loving our city, serving people faithfully, sharing the truth of the gospel clearly, and being present in our community with both compassion and conviction.
• We believe the message of Jesus is not just helpful advice; it is the good news of salvation for broken people like us.

"To Live the Life"

• Following Jesus is more than attending church once a week.
• It is learning to honor God in everyday life; in our families, work, speech, priorities, relationships, and decisions.
• By God’s grace, we want to become people who increasingly look like Christ: growing in love, truth, humility, courage, purity, generosity, and faithfulness.

Jesus Is Everything

• Jesus is not just part of what we do; He is the center of everything.
• We want our worship, preaching, ministries, relationships, and daily lives to point people to Him. Our goal is not simply to become more religious, but to know Christ more deeply and make Him known more clearly.

We Grow Better Together

• The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.
• We need encouragement, accountability, prayer, friendship, and truth from other believers. Whether in Sunday gatherings, Bible studies, or everyday conversations, we grow stronger when we walk together.

Growing People Change

• Nobody has arrived.
• We all have struggles, weaknesses, and areas where we need to grow. But following Jesus means we do not stay the same. God changes people over time through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

God Is Generous; So Are We

• Everything we have ultimately belongs to God.
• Because He has been gracious to us, we want to live open-handed lives; serving others, meeting needs, supporting ministry, and caring for people with joy rather than obligation.

Found People Find People

• The hope we have in Jesus is too good to keep to ourselves.
• We care deeply about friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members who do not know Christ. We want to speak truth with compassion and point people to the Savior who changes lives.

Saved People Serve People

• Church is not a spectator event.
• Every Christian has been called to serve. Whether through hospitality, teaching, prayer, music, children’s ministry, practical help, or encouragement, we want to use our lives to bless others and glorify God.

When you visit Calvary, you can expect:

• Biblical preaching focused on understanding and applying God’s Word
• Christ-centered worship that is heartfelt and grounded in truth
• A church family that values authenticity over appearances
• Ministries for children, students, adults, and families
• People who are serious about their faith, but not pretending to be perfect
• People come as they are. T-shirt and jeans? Broken? Filled with doubt? Hurt by churches in the past? Focused on following Jesus? You are all welcome!

You do not need to have everything figured out before coming here. Questions are welcome, and nobody grows spiritually overnight.
