Calvary Chapel Downey

I wanted my child to come to this school because I heard it was a good school, but was denied to this school because I refused to change religion, and go to their church. I’m Catholic, and I go to church once or twice a week sometimes.
So unless you’re not willing to change religion and waste a $ 75.00 on an interview for your child then don’t waste your time. Because these people are so misleading on their application!

I just started going here on the recommendation from a family member who attends Calvary Chapel in Murietta. I’m so glad I made the choice. I love that it is so bible based. I look forward to growing as a Christian and I’m glad I get to do it here.

This church has an amazing investment into the community. They are a solid biblical ministry that offers a place for everyone to participate and grow. Most of my review here is what this church IS NOT… because there is so much garbage and ignorance in churches today that are fueled only by preaching as a form of entertainment and show on the stage. Calvary is not a charismatic church. Cc is not a money begging church. Cc is not a topical focused preaching ministry. Cc is not miracle crusade tent revival type of charismatic ministry that has people running around saying God spoke to them to tell you something that no body else knows. CC is not Joel Osteen, nor Benny Hinn like whatsoever. CC Is Christ centered, bible teaching ministry, who in fact believes in the spiritual gifts, while not making them for the use of entertainment or show. Some charismatic church folks I used to know would call Cc Luke chapel as in «Luke warm». Obviously these folks are not driven by the depth of Scripture itself, but by the need to be entertained in an circus church environment. I’m not saying all charismatic people are like that, but most of the ones I’ve come accross, tend to have less interest in doctrinal truths, and seem to be always looking for a supernatural experience, even if the experience is unbiblical.

I love my church! I enjoy the sermons and the worship is awesome! I have always felt welcomed, If you are looking for a church that teaches the word of God, you should come for a visit!

Absolutely great church and school. God, family and country. That is exactly the order. English and Spanish service. Sunday school for pre k to high school age. Child care available for the majority of services, they also have a family friendly worship room if you would like to attend the service with your kids.
Private room for new moms too. Very nice facility, focuses strictly on the word of God.

My son attended preschool and elementary here. I love the school, the amount of attention my son gets is great. The school is clean, safe and staff is friendly and qualified. I would gladly recommend cccs to any parent considering placing their child here. The communication between the teachers and parents is fantastic.
If I had one critique, I would hope the tuition would drop a bit considering the uniforms and expensive yearly books needed for the school year. Not to mention the school supplies and the «account maintenance fee» assessed yearly. I try to look at the tuition as an investment, and the fact that God is incorporated in the kids studies its something I can’t get at a public school. Overall I rate CCCS a 5 star school.

Yesterday I was attacked verbally by a member of Calvary Chapel. Do they still preach against the Catholic Church there? Is that part of the program?

I love this church!!! This is my home church. If has everything from child care, bible study for all different groups and the Senior Pastor teaches the word book by book verse by verse. If you need help with your marriage or anything this is a full service church. You will get Jesus and His Love.

This church has the best teaching around. I have a few slight concerns with the children’s program so that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 but really, you can’t get any better sermons anywhere!

I have been going to this church for 3 years and I recommend it highly because they teach sound doctrine. They also offer many different classes. Pastors are available for prayer & counsel. There are many different ministries to get involved in If you are looking for a church you should consider visiting CCDowney where they teach the word of God verse by verse. God bless u!

Calvary Chapel Downey was the church that first brought me to a saving knowledge of the cross of Jesus when I was in High School. Today I had the pleasure of attending Christmas Eve service with my brother and his family and it brought back very good memories. I met my first good friends in Christ there, and though I no longer attend, my brother had one of his girls attend through High School. Pastor Jeff with the guiding hand of the Lord has certainly built a church that meets the needs of the entire family. The teaching is Bible based with an emphasis on correct exegesis and a focus on helping believers understand the pillars of the faith. There is a wide assortment of services throughout the week, and also multiple service on Sunday so anyone can find something to fit their schedule.
If anyone is looking for a good church in the greater Downey and surrounding areas, I would not hesitate to recommend Calvary Chapel Downey! God is good!

The preaching by Jeff Johnson or guest speakers are always excellent, but this is not a review of the preaching. It is about the chuch family.
I came across a great deal on a case of paperback NIV Bibles and I decided I was going to donate half of them to the New Believer’s Ministry. I took the entire case into the church, because I didn’t want them soiled in my dirty trunk. I meet the gentleman running the ministry (Ralph?) and tell him of my intentions. I count out half of the Bibles and attempt to leave with the rest of the Bibles. The man running the ministry asks me where I am going with the rest of the Bibles. I repeat what I told him earlier, but he says «You brought those Bibles into the church. They are now church property». He then calls Security.
Security arrived very quickly. I tell Security my story and he didn’t even bother to ask the other man his version. Security said don’t ever bring anything else here unless you plan on leaving ALL of it here. I told Security not to worry, because I will never donate anything else to this church. (I have my own ministry now. Whenever I see a NIV or NLT Bible selling for $ 2.00 or less, I purchase it and give it to believers in need.)
I went to pick up my tithe receipt for income tax purposes. The lady at the desk treats me like trash until she sees how much I have given. All of a sudden she is treating me like a king.
When I was studying to be a therapist, I had to observe a baby for 1 hour. I asked the head of the Baby Ministry if I could observe a baby with the parent’s permission, of course. He tells me to march myself straight outside the church. I ask him if he wants me to leave and not attend service. He calls Security and I have to find out from Security that he wants me never to walk by the Baby Minstry ever again. If I ever want to walk down the hallway past the Baby Ministry I would have to exit the building 100 feet before the room and re-​enter 100 feet beyond the ministry.
Needless to say I don’t attend services at this church anymore.

Great service!

I have been going to Calvary Chapel Downey for the past 8yrs. and I love my church. If you are looking for a good church where they teach the word of God Book by Book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse this is the place. Awesome pastor. Christ centered church.

*****Soul food will not get any better than this.*****

Whether it is Pastor Jeff or any guest speaker at the podium delivering the message for the day, Calvary Chapel Downey is the place to be to worship, give thanks and Praise our GOD for all of HIS GLORY!!!
Line by line, the Bible is followed and explained where it makes sense to everyone.
No quick-​fixes for a sinful life, just straight-​forward, truthful remedies on how to pray with and for one another. Welcome the Spirit of Discernment and be blessed each and every day.

The best place to feed the spirit, great teaching, great worship and great fellowship!

I had been here before back in 1996 and this year in 2010 I am back one more. Admittingly I was only here for a school assignment. Being an atheist for the most part of the past 14 years I was not exactly sure why I arrived. A few months ago I even posted on a Unilocal thread «commentary on organized religion». I needed to take one class which held up my long overdue degree in History, I took a saturday religious study class
The parking was great and the church was very clean and well built. I was impressed by the seating, the audio and the overal design of the area for worship. The pastor was great, at times I felt the sermon to be dry but he inserted a funny joke to get us back into it.
I saw many with bookmarks and note pads which I did not want to do. I wanted to feel the spirit and hear the word writing anything down. After the sermon and announcements we left.
this sermon in to be continued, I may write on other parts of the church, I am not sure if I will return, maybe.
