Calvary Chapel Pastors · Teaching Archives

The Calvary Chapel Association is a fellowship of Calvary Chapel churches and pastors, led by a Leadership Council of pastors. This page follows the association and the pastors serving on its Leadership Council. It is not a directory of every church that uses the name.

For the movement as a whole, its history from Costa Mesa and the Jesus Movement, and what Calvary Chapels teach, see Calvary Chapel history and beliefs.

Calvary Chapel is built on expository verse-by-verse teaching through the whole Bible. Chuck Smith's commitment to teaching through Scripture sequentially, without skipping the difficult passages, without softening the doctrinal edges, produced a generation of pastors who do the same. The movement's doctrinal distinctives include a pre-tribulational, premillennial eschatology, a high view of biblical inerrancy, and a soteriology that declines both the Calvinist and the Arminian label: the free offer of the gospel to every person, grace that can be resisted, and the security of the believer.

The pastors below are the men currently leading the Calvary Chapel Association. Their teaching archives represent thousands of hours of expository preaching through the whole Bible, available free online. These are not polished productions. They are working pastors teaching working congregations the Word of God, week after week, year after year.
