"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." 

II Timothy 2:15

Calvary Chapel Columbus (CCC) is a non-denominational Church with the goal of leading all those who may attend into the everlasting arms of Jesus.

The roots of CCC stem from the Calvary Chapel movement out of Costa Mesa, Ca. We are a casual, come as you are fellowship of believers. We teach verse by verse through the Bible.  Calvary Chapels now reach world wide with over 1500 churches.

Calvary Chapel Columbus has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to 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 overemphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's (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 how He should be worshipped.

We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have been truly worshipping Him.

A Little More about CCC

Here at CCC we would love to see the people of Columbus in a personal relationship with Jesus! We pray that we will be able to reach Columbus, Ft. Benning Army post, Harris County, our sister city, Phenix City Alabama, and also to the ends of the earth as we are surrendered to Him!

We desire to watch the Lord build His Church.  We began with a Monday Night Bible Study in Sept. '03, moved to Sunday Morning services in September of '04, and are now meeting on Sunday's at 9 & 11am / Wednesdays at 6:30pm!

We serve a BIG God and are expecting the Lord to do BIG things through Calvary Chapel Columbus!
