About Us

The threefold mission of Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowships (CCOF) is to serve Calvary Chapel fellowships; to maintain accountability; and to oversee the CCOF process of fellowship.

First, we want to serve the fellowships by providing materials that will define the Calvary Chapel philosophy as described in Calvary Chapel Distinctives. These materials will be gathered from sources such as previous pastors conferences, books, pamphlets, and sermons given by Pastor Chuck as he outlines and defines the call and ministry of a pastor.

The second major function of CCOF is how we would like to encourage accountability to God, to His Word, and to fellow pastors. Accountability is first to the pastor who ordained the applicant to minister. We will also look to our regional lead pastors located worldwide to maintain the relationship of personal accountability with the Calvary Chapel pastors located in their respective regions. We will be accountable to one another so as to avoid becoming an offense to our Lord, our fellowship of pastors, or to other Calvary Chapel fellowships.

The third major function of CCOF will deal with the pastor’s application for fellowship with other Calvary churches. The pastor’s personal record will be kept in both the CCOF office and the regional pastor’s office. When there is a change of the senior pastor, the application process must be followed by the new senior pastor, who will be given 60 days to complete and submit the fellowship application in order remain a recognized Calvary Chapel.

It is our earnest desire to serve and assist you and your church as we seek to fulfill the prayer: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
