The Vision of Calvary Chapel Magazine
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. —Psalm 26:7, KJV
Calvary Chapel churches and missionaries are reaching the world, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and nurturing new believers in the faith. The vision of Calvary Chapel Magazine is to be an instrument that glorifies the sovereign Lord God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
—1 Thessalonians 1:5
It has been the vision of Pastor Chuck Smith of CC Costa Mesa , CA, to use CC Magazine as a tool to unite Calvary Chapels worldwide and tell of God’s wondrous works. Since its inception more than twelve years ago, there have been many pastors who have utilized the publication to foster within their churches a heart to follow the great commission to go into all the world. Through the pictures and stories, many people have been encouraged and sent out as missionaries.
Ultimately, our desire is to lead people to a better personal understanding and relationship with Jesus Christ. We hope the stories will encourage you to let the light of Jesus Christ shine in your life and your community.
In Christ our Savior,

As the Apostle Paul stated, the goal is to spread the Gospel not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit—with great conviction and absolute certainty. We desire to point the lost to a relationship with Jesus Christ and encourage Christians who are seeking God’s will.
