FROM THE PASTOR

Welcome to the Metro Calvary Chapel Web site. Within these pages you'll find information about our church, our ministries, and most importantly, who Jesus Christ is and how you can begin a personal relationship with Him. That's really the focus of what we do at Calvary Chapel-make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Jesus says, "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" (Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV). For us, this means ministering to the needs in Los Angeles and in a broader sense ministering to those around the world that do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

Part of our ministry is the Web site you're visiting. If this is your first experience with a non-denominational church, I invite you to read our Statement of Faith, which provides a list of our doctrinal beliefs along with the biblical basis for the expression of those beliefs. As you peruse our site, if you have any questions or would like more information, please use the e-mail hypertext links to let us know.

The most dynamic, effective way in which we express our faith is by reaching out to others. It is our desire to meet our community's needs in all aspects of spiritual growth, from someone who is meeting Jesus for the first time to a believer who has walked with Him through many seasons. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, Metro Calvary Chapel would like to encourage you in Christ-whether it's in intensive Bible study, serving alongside other believers, or in opportunities of fun and fellowship with those who have also embraced Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Calvary Chapels are known internationally for their dedication to the expositional teaching of God's Word and for a balanced blend of the Spirit's power to educate, edify, and empower every believer. We hope that if the Lord leads you into our fellowship, we will be able to share this experience with you.

In Him,

Pastor Steve Snook
