The Calvary Chapel in Vidalia, California formally separated fr Calvary Chapel and formally became 'Reformed'. It lasted a few years and reverted back to Calvary Chapel. The pastorade a formal statement that ' I dont know what I was thinlking'.a significant amount of the'Reformed' group still leans that was.

Friends ofmine moved to Colorsfa Springs to continue 5 point Calvinism.

Yes, Calvary Chapel churches are autonomous, meaning each church operates independently while still being part of a larger fellowship. They share common beliefs and practices but are not governed by a central authority.

Autonomy of Calvary Chapel Churches​

Calvary Chapel churches maintain their independence in several ways.

  • Independent operation — Each Calvary Chapel church is self-governing and not part of a formal denomination.
  • Shared beliefs — While independent, they adhere to common doctrinal distinctives outlined by Chuck Smith.
  • Local leadership — Each church is led by its own senior pastor, fostering local decision-making.
  • Fellowship connections — Despite their autonomy, churches collaborate for the advancement of the Gospel.

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. - Matthew 7

I was brought up in the military and my Medic Master Chief Dad would call the ravening wolves, "Show Boats." Remembering the true fruit of the Spirit is...

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.- Galatians 5:22-23
