CCS Elementary Teacher

Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa is a Jesus Formed Community on Mission.

Community Formation and Mission are the three main ways that we believe we are to live out our discipleship to Jesus. We believe that through Gospel teaching training and resources Gods people are enabled to take their discipleship into their own hands. We do this by living out the listening serving and helping posture of Jesus in our church community.

The ministry began with the church located in Costa Mesa CA and has flourished and expanded into a multifaceted ministry whose influence has reached to the ends of the earth. We have now re-focused as a local Church-centered organization with a goal of forming resourcing and educating followers of Jesus.

Calvary Chapel Schools (CCS) was established to meet the educational social and spiritual needs of the children of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa. CCS is a ministry of CCCM building up Christian leaders in mind body and soul through Biblical truth character development and strong academic pursuits enabling students to serve and enjoy Christ and their community.
