Our Story

Calvary Chapel of Prineville, formerly known as Calvary Chapel Crook County, was founded in May of 2002. It started with a small group of families who met in a local elementary school library. As attendance steadily increased, the church moved to larger spaces: another local school,  a small storefront, and later the Belknap corner building in 2008. Most recently in 2019, the church purchased the former St. Andrews Episcopal Church on 1st Street. Watch our very fun building renovation video!
 
Calvary Chapel of Prineville has been involved in the community in various ways, sponsoring local events and working with other churches and organizations in order to meet urgent needs, just to name a couple. Beginning in 2014, however, the Lord began to expand our vision to include not only the community in which we live but also the utter most parts of the Earth.

Reaching the Nations
Check out this video, telling the story of our Lead Pastor and the direction God has led our Church Family to reach the Nations with the Gospel.

In obedience to Jesus' final words on earth, we endeavor to make followers of Jesus.  Our energy goes towards doing this with young and old of all cultures locally here in Prineville, regionally in Crook County and globally at the ends of the earth.  We are humbled to be a part of continuation of the story of Acts where the Spirit of God regularly leads us to uncharted territory in proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus. Who knows where or how He will do it next through our church, but we invite you to come be a part of it with us!
