Many people are under the impression that a particular
style of worship is insisted upon at Calvary Chapel, that
style being the soft contemporary sound made popular by
Maranatha! Music and by Asaph Records (which both
originated at Calvary Chapel). Although most Calvary
Chapels do utilize a form of contemporary worship, there is
actually a great variety of styles of music found In our
churches. Some are very traditional and conservative, with
organs or pianos and hymns, while others prefer electric
guitars and drums. There is no set style of worship that
makes a Calvary Chapel unique; instead there is wide
latitude in expression. All of us desire, of course, that
whatever the style of worship, it come from our hearts.
Similarly, some of the worship services at Calvary Chapels
are quite traditional, while others are more contemporary.
Some of our churches are filled with elderly people in
suits and ties, some are filled with young people in jeans
and tee shirts, and many are a combination of all different
ages, styles, and races of folks who come together with one
common focus: love for Jesus Christ and the desire to know
Him more intimately.
