"ABOUT
US"
Calvary Chapel of North East Washington has been in
existence for over eight years and we never want to forget our roots-
A BRIEF HISTORY Calvary Chapel
of North East Washington began with just a small
group of individuals meeting in one house or another in
the fall of 1999, to study the Bible together.
Coincidently their first study consisted of 12
individuals, similar to how the first church in the books
of Acts started out..
As the group grew in
numbers the body decided to begin to meet on Sunday
mornings, first at a dance studio, then at the Woodland
theatre, both in Kettle Falls, WA., and finally to the
Senior Center in Colville, WA., where the Church currently
meets.
Throughout this time the
church has been encouraged by the support of Calvary
Chapel of Spokane and officially became affiliated to
Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa in December of 2001.

Calvary Chapels are
not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to
denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of
the doctrinal differences that have led to the
division of the body of Christ.
We believe 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 our selves Christians.
Because we are not
a denomination, each Calvary Chapel affiliate
church is independently started, financially
supported and governed. Churches are usually
started by individuals who begin by teaching a
Bible study and the study grows into a church.
Each church is governed by it's own pastors,
elders, deacons, board members, etc. Ordination
of ministers is also performed by the church board
members of individual churches. Therefore, every
church is entirely independent. |

Calvary Chapels hold
to some basic Biblical doctrines which are
parallel to those of Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa,
California. Although we do not have a doctrinal
statement as to everything we believe, a visit to
What We Believe,
will cover a great deal of what we believe. |
