OUR STORY

On a Sunday morning in March of 1999, Calvary Central OC was born in the Landis Family living room with 19 people.  After three weeks in the Landis home, we moved to the Tustin Meadows Clubhouse for 3 months.  From there the door opened through prayer to use the multi-purpose room of Colombus Middle School for a few more months.  As we heard of a church site available on 6th Street near Old Town Tustin, we were told we were too late, but the Lord called us to meet at the property to pray.  The next day, we were told the building was ours.  We grew to three services in our 225 seat sanctuary and once again grew to three services in our later 400 seat sanctuary.  Fast forward  about 12 years and we began seeking the Lord as we heard our church buillding complex was going to be sold.  After searching possible sites and an 18-month-long "no" to obtaining our current property, we finally received an overnight "yes" with a "how soon can you move in?"  God's timing is always impeccable and perfect.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Read our Statement of Faith

 We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. 

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His personal return in power and glory. 

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God. 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today. 

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 

We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
