Calvary Chapel Living Hope is a part of the fellowship of Calvary Chapels founded in the late 60's by Pastor Chuck Smith of Costa Mesa California. Calvary Chapel Living Hope began as a "church plant" out of Calvary Chapel Vista in 1995 under pastor Brian Brodersen. Brad Lambert has been the pastor of CCLH
since the beginning, but in reality the church is built and sustained by the Lord Jesus Himself when He said; "... I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18)
Jesus gives us instruction on how He (not man) builds the church. The believer's part is to simply grow in the grace of God by looking to and trusting in Christ, the head the church.
"but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..." (2 Peter 3:18)

Calvary Chapel Living Hope is dedicated to boldly proclaim the absolute truth and authority of God's Word. Standing on the Bible's inerrancy and sufficiency seems to be no small issue in our pluralistic, postmodern, relativistic world in which we live. The exclusive narrow road leading to God is not the invention of ignorant Christians but the declaration of Christ Himself:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
Because we believe in the exclusive truth of Christ’s deity, atoning death and saving life, we stand at odds with our culture and every world religion and cult.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. (Col 2:8)
Lord, please open our eyes to the deception of the evil one that we may discern what is of Christ and what is of this world. We humbly repent for our hard hearts and double mindedness. Keep us pure and undefiled by filling us with the Spirit of Your dear Son. Amen
