The Calvary Chapel Church has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. You will immediately take notice of the “diversity” of believers within our four walls.
Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of ministry differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ.

At Calvary Chapel Newport News, our mission is to teach the Good News of Jesus Christ to the lost and the found. We accomplish this by Reaching Up, In, Around, and Out – and it all begins with our 1st Impressions Ministry. The 1st Impressions Ministry is comprised of our Parking Lot Team (as they direct traffic), our Welcome Center Team (as they greet you at the front door), and our Usher Team (as they help you to your seat in one of our twin auditoriums). Each team truly understands the importance of the statement, “You never have a second chance to make a great first impression.” As “Ambassadors For Christ,” the 1st Impressions Ministry seeks to support CCNN’s mission by providing an atmosphere where everyone is eager to be taught the Word of God.
The 1st Impressions Ministry believes that every person who crosses our path is a divine appointment from God.
Our Mission: To provide a wide range of Audio/Video and Multimedia presentations, in support of the worship experience as well as the Word as it is being taught.
About Us: We believe as the word of God says that faith comes by hearing and hearing from the word of God. We want to support that growth experience by presenting audio-visual support without distracting from the teaching of the Word of God.
Our Goal: Our goal is to create music and video presentation that will appear seamless and effortless to help increase the retention of the Word and allow the congregation to freely worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth.
Kidz Bible Adventure provides a loving and caring atmosphere and Biblical teaching for infants, toddlers, and elementary aged children during our weekly scheduled church services. It offers a time of worship, basic Bible teachings, and life application for children at their specific level, birth through 5th Grade.
Our Curriculum:
As in the main sanctuary, we teach the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book on Sunday mornings. Our focus for all services is to present and teach the Word of God on the children’s level so they can apply it to their lives, thus making the Bible meaningful.
According to www.dictionary.com, the word “IGNITE” means “to set on fire.” In our IGNITE student ministries, we desire for each student to be set on fire for our Lord Jesus Christ with passion and commitment.
IGNITE, which stands for “Igniting God’s Nature in Teens Eternally,” welcomes and ministers to students from 9– 12th grade from all cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences.
Just as with the adults in the main sanctuary, we offer four identical worship services on Sundays at 9:00 and 11:00am with exciting praise and worship, led by our IGNITE students, as well as strong biblical teaching through God’s Word verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book. On Wednesday evenings, we offer small groups, which provide opportunities for further in-depth study, accountability, prayer, and times of fellowship and fun. Throughout the year, we also offer special events and numerous opportunities for ministry and service to reach out to our community to share the love and light of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of the CCNN Military Ministry is to minister to our military personnel (active duty, vets, retired) with events that specifically have our military members in mind.
THE CCNN MILITARY MINISTRY HAS FOUR FOCUS AREAS:
- Single Troops
- Military Married Couples
- Deployed Troops
- Spouses of Deployed Troops
Here at Calvary Chapel Newport News, we believe that every mature believer must reach out by sharing Jesus. In obedience to the Great Commission, we not only seek to make disciples domestically but also internationally to the ends of the earth.
Over the years, Calvary Chapel Newport News has sent out members on several short-term mission trips to the countries of Honduras and Kenya. We seek to empower our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ by leading conferences for pastors and church leaders and teaching Vacation Bible School for children while also ministering to those in orphanages and detention centers. In addition, as the opportunities arise, we seek to perform various service projects.
Once God opens the door for a short-term mission trip, we have an application and interview process, as well as rigorous training to prepare those being sent. Lastly, while each team is on the mission field, we have a 24-hour prayer chain to pray for each member’s safety and effectiveness in ministry.
Ref·uge /ˈrefˌyo͞oj,ˈrefˌyo͞oZH/ – a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble.
Knowing we have an enemy walking around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, our Refuge Ministry provides a safe place where young adults, ages 18-30ish, can gather and encourage each other in their walk with the Lord. This co-ed ministry is designed to lead young adults in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ where the Word is Relevant, Relational, and Real.
The ministry meets on the 1st Friday every month our student ministries room IGNITE.
Welcome to the Calvary Chapel Men’s Ministry. As “Iron Sharpens Iron” Proverbs 27:17, the men of CCNN sharpen each other in the areas of leadership, accountability, fellowship, and growing in God’s Word. We are devoted to making our men disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our Women’s Ministry is committed to seeing women grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goal is to help women focus their hearts on the sovereignty and all-sufficiency of the living God and His Word. This is accomplished by equipping women for service and fostering an atmosphere in which Christ-centered friendships and relationships can blossom. We offer many opportunities to gather together, to build up one another in the faith, and to encourage relationships for the purpose of discipleship, prayer, and accountability to the glory of God.
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” -John 4: 24
Though there are several words in the Bible that we translate as worship, very few of them actually mean singing or are directly related to music at all. At its foundation, biblical worship is about our attitudes and actions toward God and His word.
At Calvary Chapel Newport News, our desire is to express hearts of worship in a corporate setting as a direct overflow of the worship that takes place every moment within an individual’s heart. Those called and gifted to lead worship are especially held to such a standard. Therefore, the Worship Team is a group of Christian singers and musicians who, through music, lead the congregation in exalting God through Jesus Christ by the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
As a culturally diverse church, we seek diversity in our musical selection and style while always placing emphasis on the gospel message during a worship set. This requires that team members are grounded in their faith and versatile in musicality. Both of these attributes are ever-growing as we progress as a team.
