"What is it that makes Calvary Chapel different from other Bible-believing, evangelical churches? ... If Calvary Chapel is exactly like the church across the street it would be better to simply merge the two. But if there are distinctives that makes us different, then we have a unique and special place in the plan of God. In Calvary Chapel we find the teaching of the Word, and an open heart to the work of the Holy Spirit. It is this balance that makes Calvary Chapel a distinct and uniquely blessed movement of God." - Pastor Chuck Smith
