What's a service like?

What are your services like?

Our Sunday morning services begins at 9:30a.m. with fellowship over coffee and pastry. The service begins at 10:00a.m. We spend the first 20 minutes singing songs of praise and worship to God. You’ll hear a few announcements about what is going on in the life of the church and have the opportunity to greet others from the congregation. The rest of our time is spent listening as Pastor Joseph teaches from God’s Word. We believe that God’s Word has the power to change lives. So bring your Bible and get ready to listen to what God has for you! If you don't have a Bible, we have one for you to use and take home with you. If after the service you would like prayer, Pastor Joseph is available in the sanctuary.

I couldn't make it to church last week. Can I get a copy of the service?

We have CD’s of the service available at our Media table. You can also listen to the church service by clicking on the Podcast link at the top of the page.

What should I wear?

The attire at Heartland Bible Fellowship ranges from casual to dressy. God doesn't place value on how well someone is dressed and neither do we, in fact, the Bible warns us not to show favoritism based on clothing or appearance (James 2:1-13), so come as you are.

What does it mean to be affiliated with Calvary Chapel?

We are currently in the process of becoming affiliated with Calvary Chapel. This affiliation provides us with accountability and fellowship with a credible ministry while still allowing us to maintain our independent, non-denominational status. Each Church is governed by its own leadership and selects its own pastors, elders, and deacons. Calvary Chapel is not a denomination.

Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, CA (Chuck Smith, Pastor) was founded in 1965 with 24 members. It has since grown to a weekly attendance of more than 30,000 and has over 1,500 affiliate churches around the world. More information about Calvary Chapel and its church affiliates can be found on their website at www.CalvaryChapel.com.
