Calvary Chapel Surprise

This church is amazing! The people are so sweet and loving and friendly. You will be greeted at the door by really great people who are there to say hello and welcome you! I am personally so blessed by the solid, Biblical teaching taught each and every week. The verse by verse approach is so great and it leaves me with a deeper understanding of all of the components of the verse being studied. I am so thankful for all of the time poured into studying the Word so that it can be taught in this way! The worship is so great too, they choose great worship songs and they have a team of talented musicians who genuinely love the Lord! I love worshipping with the CCS congregation because you can hear them all worshipping with you... you can feel the presence of God! The Children's Ministry is great too because kids aren't being just babysat, they're being taught about Jesus on their level in a fun and interactive way. Plus, Children's Ministry is fun too! Everyone there is so sweet and I am so thankful for their encouragement in my life. I love this church and am so proud to call it my church home! Come join us for a service... you will be so blessed!! more

This is the place! Come just as you are! You will be welcomed and loved-on right away. We are constantly blessed by our church family and their heart for the Lord as well as for one another. \r \r We love to worship the Lord and we love the worship here! We really appreciate the way we are brought into the presence of God through the music! \r \r Also, we really appreciate the Pastor and his heart for diligent study and application of God's Word. We are always challenged by the verse by verse, chapter by chapter teachings on Sunday mornings. We are so excited to be growing in our understanding of God's incredible love & grace for us in Jesus Christ! \r \r If you have kids...you will be so happy to see your kids thrive in Youth and Children's Ministry. We are thankful for the many ways we are seeing our children develop a love for Jesus and that theylook forward to coming back each week!\r \r I would check this church out...you will love it, you will be blessed and you will fall more in love with Jesus!\r \r more

CCS is a wonderful place where it's members can learn, grow and serve! There is excellent, thought provoking teaching that is shared with grace and truth. The children's ministry is thriving under the engaging and biblical lessons taught to all ages of students! \r It is a welcoming, loving environment where the love of Christ is communicated, lived out and felt! \r \r Where God is moving and doing a work, Satan is trying to discourage it. This is clearly the case with the poor discruntled person above. If you are reading this, please pray for that person. more

Struggle with commenting on how a worship service should be since we are there to worship God and not for our own desires. I will say this: Teaching- very strong in the Word and easily identifiable.(Is that a word?) Worship: Good. Nothing stands out though. Children's: Easy check-in. Kids are taught and not just watched. Friendliness: Both visits we were greeted with a smile and people willing to help. Overall: We have visited 3 churches and we think this is where we will call home. more

My husband and I tried this church after attending a different church in Surprise for sometime. My husband is what I call a ""baby Christian"" as I was raised in a wonderful church and his attendance was minimal at his church.\r \r Well, I have struggled for awhile feeling that the other church was more of a 'feel good church' and not very spirit filled. We walked into CCS and felt welcomed and comfortable. The service was just that... an actual service filled with great bible study! \r \r To sum it up, my husband walked out and said he LOVED it, and would definately attend again.... to quote him, he said, 'THAT is what I expect a church to be like' \r \r I'm very excited to of found our 'home church' more

They wondn't let me give it 0 stars. That it what it deserves tho. I honestly have nothing nice to say about this church. The music is awful. They do not help people that are in need, The Pastor was asked to help a man that was having some temptation and the pastor dismissed him. I have not met one person there that I could ever trust. The people at the church will make sure to point out all of your flaws to you (They won't tell you who they are though). The Pastor knows of the things going on in this church and does not do anything about it. They show obvious favorites and I can garuntee that these two people that wrote something are some of those favorites. I would never recomend this church to anyone! EVER! Yes they have hurt me personally, but I am not the only one. I know of at least 20 others that they have kicked out of the church. They try to kick people out for inviting friends over to their house and listening to someone teach or read the bible.... Cons: Fake more

Come and see the friendly folks at CCS. They have lots of bible studies, men's, women's, married couples, seniors etc... wonderful children's ministry. Coming up VBS and Awana too! Pros: Great Bible Teaching Church more

If you are looking for a solid Bible teaching church you will find it at Calvary Chapel Surprise. The church has recently moved into their new facilities at Reems and Greenway in Surprise and the remodel of a strip mall is amazing. The decor inside is inviting and comfortable without being commercial. We were met by many friendly people the first time we attended. There is a great balance between young and old with programs for every age range. The music is contemporary complete with guitars and drums, but just the right volume for comfort and praise. We love this church and the Pastors. Pros: Solid Bible Teaching, Great Youth and Children's Programs more
