Welcome to Calvary Chapel Spring Creek!
We are young and old, friends and families who love the Lord Jesus Christ! Living in the high desert, Spring Creek, Nevada, we are seven miles from Elko Nevada. Our desire is to worship and serve Jesus alone. Calvary Chapel of Spring Creek is rooted in Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with Pastor Chuck Smith. Our pastor, John Sutherland, believes in teaching us the truth alone, straight from the Word of God. We are Spirit Filled in our Worship with songs of praise from our worship leader Tony Pruessing and the Calvary Chapel Worship Team.
Come Join Us!
Calvary Chapel has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to 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 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 a great place to music in our worship.
- We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped.
- We believe worship of God is fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.
