Driven by a desire to know and worship God in a deeper way, Calvary Chapel Central Bucks began in 1999, when Pastor John and his wife, Renee, started a small Bible study with 30 people in a barn near Doylestown.  The church’s emphasis has always been to worship the Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and truth, and to teach God’s Word in a fresh, practical, and expository manner.

Now ministering to the needs of a growing congregation, in the midst of a diverse community of people from every walk of life in the Philadelphia suburb of Central Bucks County, we thank the Lord for faithfully providing us an opportunity to minister to His people! Today, Calvary Chapel reaches thousands of adults weekly, both in-person and online, through a wide range of outreaches and ministries.  

At Calvary Central Bucks, we believe “church” is far more about the people than the building. Ours is a vibrant fellowship of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ that gathers to worship Him, study His Word, serve His people, and share His Gospel. In every ministry, class, service, and outreach, our goal is to glorify God and see Him at work in our midst. We believe that every life is precious to God. We invite you to learn more about us, and as you do, we trust you will learn much more about the One we serve, Jesus.

In 1965, Pastor Chuck Smith (also known as the leader in the Jesus Movement) began his ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with just 25 people. From the beginning, Pastor Chuck Smith welcomed all, young and old, without judgment, placing his emphasis on teaching the Word of God. His simple, yet sound, biblical approach drew 25,000 people weekly. With a sincere concern for the lost, Pastor Chuck Smith made room in his heart and his home for a generation of hippies and surfers, generating a movement of the Holy Spirit that spread from the West Coast to the East Coast, and now, throughout the world. What began as a small local church has now grown into an international ministry of over 1,500 fellowships throughout the world.

We invite you to join us as we meet and worship our wonderful Lord and Savior, study His Word, fellowship together, grow in His grace, and desire to make disciples and go into all the world.
