Mission Statement
We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ dedicated to loving one another and reaching non-believers with the truth of His life, death and resurrection and the abundant life they can have in Him through faith. We welcome the broken, the hurting, the disenfranchised and seek to help mend their souls through teaching the precepts and principles of Jesus found in His Word; through one-on-one relationships; through love and acts of active compassion, and then equipping them to do the same, while being transformed by the power of the Spirit of God.
In short: We are a People of God being Transformed by the Power of the Spirit of God through the Truth of the Word of God to do the Ministry of the Son of God.
Our Core Values
We value God’s Reputation: We do all things for the glory of God.
1Corinthians 10:31 “…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
We value God’s Creation: We treat every person as being made in the image of God
Genesis 1:27 “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them…
We value love as the greatest of all character traits: We love agape’ style: by faith, not feelings.
1Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance”
We value perseverance and endurance: We always go the extra mile for everyone.
Matthew 5:41 “If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles.”
Our History
November 9th 2003: Calvary Chapel Arrowhead was formed as a second location by Pastor John Brown of Calvary Chapel Central. CCA met bi-weekly at Sierra Verde School in Glendale, AZ. The church grew and Pastor Dennis Templeton became the Senior Pastor in 2008.
December 2015: CCA moved to a bigger location, Candeo School in Peoria, AZ.
May 2018: CCA moved to a private space located in the Arrowhead Commerce Center on 84th Ave and Bell, also in Peoria, AZ.
February 2022: After 18 years of prayer and searching for a stand alone church building, we moved into our current location and changed our name from Calvary Chapel Arrowhead to The Branch Calvary Chapel.
