About

We've included this section to provide an overview of our ministry style and practices. While by no means comprehensive, we hope it will assist in offering a thumbnail sketch of the Church Body.

Affiliation

Calvary Chapel Louisville is affiliated with Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowships and Pastor Chuck Smith.

Baptism & Communion

Baptism: Scheduled periodically for those who confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and are actively involved in discipleship.

Communion: Typically celebrated once-a-month, on the first Sunday of the month. Open to all who are interested in remembering Jesus Christ for His atoning, substitutionary work at the cross, and His subsequent bodily resurrection.

Beliefs

Please see our Statement of Faith page

Chapel Kids  (2Ti 3:15)

We have a fantastic Children’s Ministry led by enthusiastic children’s ministers with a heart for the Lord. Instruction is in God’s Word, the way of salvation, discipleship, and prayer.

• 1-3: Preschool
• 4-8: Gradeschool
• 9+: Invited to sit with an adult during the Service

We also recognize and support a parent's conviction for their family to participate in the worship experience together. In light of this, we request the following consideration: If  distracting behavior or the need to exit the Service is anticipated, we recommend seating your family toward the rear of the sanctuary. We desire that everyone have the opportunity to receive the ministry of the Word, therefore please join us in providing an environment conducive to this goal.

• A Mom's Room is also available for mothers with nursing children.

Chapel Youth  (1Ti 4:12)

The Old & New Testament principle of abiding defines the vision for our Youth:

• "These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." (Dt 6:6-7)
• "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love." (Jn 15:10)

Chapel Youth are encouraged to actively participate/abide in the church's various ministries, enabling the younger to glean the wisdom of the older while refreshing the older with the perspectives of the younger. This Biblical paradigm continues to yield a healthy church family of mature youth and energetic adults!
