Calvary Chapel

This is not my home church. I have come a couple times with friends. The worship was very good. I really enjoyed it. It had a good flow and did not seem like a performance. The congregation did clap between songs but it seemed more like worshipful clapping, rather than clapping for the band. The pastor’s message was passionate and good. I have also heard a guest speaker here from Israel who went through the Passover Seder from the pulpit. It was very informative and eye-​opening. This is a good Bible teaching church and there also seems to be a lot of different opportunities to volunteer and serve. Here are some of the ministries that was in a brochure which you can turn in if you want to sign up to serve. A ministry to provide meals from those recovering from childbirth or surgery, children’s ministry, childcare ministry, convalescent ministry, courtyard ministry, feeding the needs ministry for homeless people, prayer ministry, high school and junior high ministry, media distribution ministry, short term missionary trips, prison ministry, pro-​life ministry.

Changed my life, pastor Jack is the best. I look up to him for being a true man of God.

I drive about 45 minutes to go to this church. That’s how much I love it. If you are a «lukewarm» Christian who prefers feel good sermons with pastors too scared to preach the truth about sin and other issues, then this church is not for you. I on the other hand love hearing the truth and this pastor preaches some of the best sermons I’ve heard. Really love this church!

I LOVE CCCH!
Praise and worship is awesome and brings you into His presence and prepares your heart for the message. Pastor Jack delivers excellent messages and teaches from the Bible. If you’re one who likes to pick and choose what scriptures you’d like to use to «feel good» about your way of life or others, then you won’t like this church. If you believe the Word of God to be 100% literal then you’ll love it.
Truth is hate, to those who hate truth.

Teachings and My Observation:
I’m going to begin by saying that Pastor Jack Hibb’s teachings are not for the faint at heart, lovers of political correctness or those whom don’t believe that we as Christians must get involved in spreading the gospel as God commanded us to do so and to act on what we learn from the God inspired Bible which includes politics in a Biblical stance. If I just described you then Calvary Chapel Chino Hills is definitely not for you.
Pastor Jack Hibbs will teach you directly from the Bible wprd for word chapter by chapter. Considering what’s going on in the world right now it is extremely difficult not to compare and contrast the Bible to the news on TV. It is important that we be informed and to see how God’s Word is coming alive each day that we live right now. Based on some of the negative reviews I would guess it makes people uncomfortable to realize that we are living in the end of times. I don’t know but what I don know for sure is that Jesus is coming soon and this is not the time to be anything other than on fire and bold for Him! We should be thirsting for the truth and CCCH definitely give that to you.
If you want true teachings from the Bible that are not censored in fear of offending people with the truth then this is the place for you. If you are a true believer and are not afraid to be bold 4 for the furthering of His kingdom or are seeking growth, then this is exactly where you should be. I don’t know Pastor Jack personally but as my Pastor I feel I’m being taught extremely well, I’m constantly learning and being challenged to do research and grow in things of the Lord.
Ministries:
There are way too many ministries to list and even more than I have found on their website. I have not been blessed with the opportunity experience many because I live an hour away and that this time money does not allow for the extra fuel to attend the many wonderful ministries available.
Children’s Ministry
I have had experience with the children’s ministry from 4^th grade junior high and high school and the pastors and their helpers and loving caring helpful knowledgeable. Their background checks are extensive and I fully trust my children were in their hands. Their teachings have helped my children to grow immensely in one year. The children home have joined us as guests, beg their parents to allow them to return. One child, age 7, told his parents that he really wanted to be a «Chinohillian». He considers CCCH his home church and his parents have agreed to allow him to attend on a regular basis.
In closing, one year ago my children and I made Calvary Chapel Chino Hills our new home church as lead by the Lord. We were welcomed by plenty of friendly warm people that made us even more comfortable. We came from a very small Calvary Chapel made up of maybe 40 people to CCCH that is almost 10,000 people and it has never felt larger than our previous home church. We love it here! There is so much love surrounding this church and the people in it that you will only feel left out or alone if you don’t open your self to accept the love. The Holy Spirit’s presence is definitely felt here and I wouldn’t be here if it felt any other way.
Come for a visit and keep an open heart. I would strongly urge you to pray prior to your visit so that you could be led by the Holy Spirit and not by your own feelings.
If you see me come down and say hello. I’d love to meet you! May God bless you and guide you in your search for a home church.
If you need prayer, feel free to message me anytime.

Pastor Jack never fails to give a great service. My reset for the week to come. Worth the drive from Alhambra to hear the gospel from Pastor Jack

Love hearing Gods word from Pastor Jack. He pulls no punches. And he always gives all glory to God. My family has grown much and created a great church family here. Its nice to have roots somewhere. And hearing the bible be taught as it should be

After trying a few churches in Riverside, and not quite feeling like they were the right choice, I finally found Calvary Chapel in Chino, and have been attending for the last 3 – 4 months. It’s a relief to be in a church like this. Being raised in «fire and brimstone» style churches in the South (not necessarily to my liking), I’m not really a fan of the ethereal style of ministry either. I find either of the camps lack real balance. Realizing we all have our preferences for what style of church is right for you, I’m not condemning either of the aforementioned, it’s simply not my bag, but I’ll tell you why Calvary Chapel Chino is.
I think Pastor Hibbs has a real gift for delivering a sermon. He’s passionate about his message, but not so much so you feel as though you’re being yelled or talked at. I prefer a «lesson». He’s often lighthearted and (genuinely) funny in how he makes his points, but not to an extent the urgency of the message feels diluted or insincere. It’s clear he’s very intelligent and well educated. If he references real world events, he always gives a source for what he’s referring to and encourages congregation members to educate themselves further as well. I highly appreciate this approach vs the «just take my word for it, because I’m your pastor» kind of thing. Being a long time, world traveled veteran, I’m also highly appreciative of his patriotism and genuine concern for the health of this nation. Hands down, this is the most well rounded church I’ve ever attended.
I read a number of the low rated reviews here and initially felt compelled to detail why each of them are incorrect. I think the more constructive approach to offer is that if you read positive reviews and feel like something is leading you to attend or that it’s possibly the kind of church you’d like to be at, then go to a service, observe, and decide for yourself.

Pastor Jack Hibbs.
Non compromising True warrior for God.
Although I have never visited his church I am basing my opinion on his sermons played on Christian radio.
Pastor jack is being used tremendously by God to have the courage and valor to speak and teach the «genuine» word of God.
I highly respect his teachings and I feel mightily blessed when I am feed the uncompromising truth thru pastor jack.
Now a days teaching the TRUE word of God can be very risky and treacherous, many become offended or become bitter towards the teacher.
If you are being called by God to attend a bible based church this is it!

The best church I’ve ever attended. Pastor Jack is devoted to this church and he cares about the body. I’ve grown more here than I have anywhere else I’ve ever been and I’m so thankful for God’s bringing me here to be a member of Calvary.

I have not visited this church in person, but yesterday watched a sermon online given by the pastor, Jack Hibbs. The sermon was in response the the Supreme Court’s ruling about same-​sex marriage. I’ve been a Christian for over 30 years and the sermon I watched by Hibbs ranks as one of the most spiteful, misinformed and strident screeds I have ever witnessed. Hibbs makes claims such as, now that gay people can legally wed, «It is going to be like it was in the days of Lot: violent homosexuals knocking on doors threatening to sodomize people who disagree with them.» Really?
What is being taught here is not Christianity. It is ideological fear-​mongering. It is Fascism in the guise of the Gospel. It is very, very ugly.

Pastor Jack is straight forward, and to the point. This is my home church for the past 2 years. You will not fall asleep here. He teaches you the Word without making it complex or boring.

This is tough for me. I love Pastor Jack’s sermons and have been listening for years. God really speaks to me through his teachings. I would love to go there but the two times I’ve been there, I’ve felt completely unwelcome by the ushers.
First time I brought my son, sat in the back of the sanctuary and nursed him with a cover on. At some point during nursing him, a female usher came up and said that I «would have to conclude this feeding and take him to another room.» I was so upset that I just left. Didn’t even get to the teaching yet.
The next time I visited, I came with my son again and he was a toddler and we went to sit up towards the front of the sanctuary and before the service even started, we were escorted to the roped off kid section in the very back where apparently all the kids and parents were forced to sit. We ended up leaving early.
After all this, I just can’t being myself to ever come back here. I just see it as a place that sees children as an inconvenience and moms discreetly feeding their children as less than. What a disappointment. There are a lot of other churches that won’t hassle you about stuff like this and are a lot more welcoming.

I love this church and pastor Jacks teachings! So many people complain about how plain the building is and how loud the worship is and even how political pastor Jack is but what about all the important things like how bible based the teachings are and how blessed one walks out of here feeling.
Pastor Jack gets into political views and talks about the what is going on with the Middle East and Israel and I appreciate that because I want to be informed of how and where our world is affecting us as Christians.
Keep up the great work pastor Jack!!!

So I went here with a friend as I was hanging out with him the whole weekend and we needed to go to church on Sunday.
Now I’m Catholic, but rather a, well you could say liberal catholic as in I’m fine with Homosexuals and certain other things. My friend is Christian but doesn’t belong to a group like Catholicism.
So we decide, let’s give Calvary a shot. I was iffy to be honest, never been to a nondenominational service as they call it.(Catholics call it Mass) a little closed minded but willing to give it a shot.
So we walk in and the first thing I see is the building is rather. Plain. Like there’s nothing. I think ok so they don’t believe in buying extravagances like in some Catholic Churches ok. So I walk in and it appears to be like a concert hall with loud music playing by a band. I leaned to my friend and said, am I in a church or a music venue? Looks like they spend their money on Musical and lighting and TV equipment then anything else.
After the group is done playing, Pastor Jack walks out and starts delivering his sermon. Adding his two cents in some things I don’t agree with (Especially how a bible verse that was supposed to offend me that he said We Proudly Say! And a misinformed analogy to Titanic)
He finishes the Service by practically saying a Transgender Teacher at Chino High will be «Abusing» your children by his presence. That’s when I thought it was enough. For starters at St. Paul the Apostle my church I go to, politics have never been raised as an issue. We don’t get involved with a matter like that. Now he, Pastor Jack, was telling the crowd if you don’t want your child abused then take him or her out of Chino High and protest.
I could sense a huge mob mentality in the room which to be honest scared me. I never felt that at St Paul for we only talk about the word of Jesus and God not of thethe going on of the outside world.
In the end Calvary Chapel left a bitter taste in my mouth about Nondenominational Christians and I’m sure some of you will apologize to me and say that wouldn’t happen somewhere else, but it does happen there.
I’ll be praying for those who have to listen to more Politics from Pastor Jack.

Just come as you are. Leave your worries behind and seek the One who is seeking you…

— Pastor tells everyone to vote pro-​war, Republican FROM THE PULPIT and military flags are flown on campus. This is inappropriate.
— Pastor lists himself as «OWNER» on linkedin. Hmm. Seems consistent with the Moses Model. (Low level of accountability.)
— Pastor fancies himself an expert on Middle Eastern affairs although he lacks the education, insight and experience to entertain the idea that not all Christians are Zionists and that not all non-​Israelis are inherently anti-​Semitic or anti-​Christian. He can’t even spell Hamas correctly. It is a valid interpretation of I Samuel 8 and other Scripture that the nation-​state of Israel is not perfect and its violence is not always justified.
–Calvary Chapel presents itself as a post-​denominational, or non-​denominational church, and doctrinally ambiguous; they are against Calvinism, don’t believe in demon-​possession, pastors aren’t required to attend college or seminary, etc.

Wow, what a beautiful church! I’ve only been once, but I do appreciate so much already. I love how intimate the sanctuary feels even though it’s pretty big in size. The worship team was great and sung some popular songs that play on Air1 and the pastor was amazing! You can tell he loves the church and every person who walks through the doors. He teaches strictly from the bible and keeps everyone intrigued with what he is discussing and teaching. My little ones went to the children’s church and the first thing they ask is if they brought their bible and if they memorized a bible verse. I love that! Both of my kids enjoyed it and we will definitely be making our way back to this church. I am also doing a 40 day fast which the church is doing. The daily emails and prayers are so uplifting and positive. I can’t wait to see how I feel at the end of this fast!

Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in the city of Chino is beautiful and has many conveniences to include a comprehensive book store, coffee, kids’ ministry, and knowledgable staff.
We usually go to the Wednesday service because it is less crowded and scripture focussed. We enjoy that the service begins on time, and it is well-​paced. The parking staff also directs traffic when the service is over so you can exit in a reasonable amount of time.

I’m not one to bad talk a church but this is just ridiculous. If you leave the service to go to the bathroom, you can’t go back into the service. One of my family members had to use the bathroom during service. They wouldn’t let her back in so we just left. They might as well just lock the sanctuary doors during service. It would have been nice if they warned her. I guess it’s an extremely conservative church.
We had the option of sitting in the hallway where you can hear the sermon but all the benches were taken. Also, there is an overflow room but we could have just watched a sermon online at home then.
I visited before and was disappointed with the sermon. It was all over the place and didn’t have a focal point.
The only good thing is the worship. It’s mostly contemporary but they will throw in a hymn. They worship for about 25 minutes.
