Why exist if we're like every other church? We'd rather join others than take up space. In a special message drawn from Pastor Chuck Smith's book Calvary Chapel Distinctives, Pastor Tim Molter reveals what makes Calvary unique as a vibrant, authentic expression of God's heart. While we share common ground with other churches, our passion is fostering a living relationship with Jesus, not a lifeless religion.
