The Pastor is an old punk rocker who went Bible and he knows his stuff. This is also a prayerful group - a very powerful one - though children are banned from services; there is a care room and once in a while they let them in to see what the adults are doing.
According to a Wiki "The Calvary Chapel church movement was born out of Costa Mesa, California, in the early 1960s. In 1965, the church hired Chuck Smith as its pastor. Under his leadership, the church has grown into a fellowship of over 1,300 churches, making it one of the ten largest Protestant denominations/associations in the United States."
It's true - and overall there have been splits and scandals, not quite as big as Vatican issues but still. You can look that up on the Internet.
So we aren't going to bicker about who knows the Bible best. We are NOT going to get between Latter Day Saints, Jehovah Witnesses, Roman Catholics, and various Protestant interpretations.
Let's say you are looking to be part of a congregation, a network, a place where you will feel comfortable.
If you are a Republican, if you think feminists are not Good Christian Women, if you think that women like Anita Hill or Christine Blasey Ford are lying she-demons, if you are a woman who expects her husband to support the family as that is not your role or a husband who actually can! If you believe missionaries should go into other countries and convert people to save their souls, And if you think New Agers are leading millions of people straight to eternal Hell, this is the place for you.
