Doctrinal Statement - Calvary Chapel Gulf Breeze is associated with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, California and has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ. We believe that 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 ourselves Christians.

We believe worship of God should be spiritual; therefore we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. We believe worship of God should be inspirational; therefore, we give great place to music in our worship. We believe worship of God should be intelligent; therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us in how He would be worshiped. We believe worship of God should be fruitful; therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.

Hold to...
The inerrancy of Scripture.
The continuance today of the diversities of spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12:4-11).
Simplicity in church government, rather than complex bureaucracy.
A dependence upon the Holy Spirit to lead, rather than fleshly promotion.
The pre-millennial, pre-tribulation return of Christ for His waiting church.
The teaching of the Word of God in such a way that it can be applied to life as beneficial towards a growing maturity.
