    Our family has had a wonderful experience at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island. The Bible teaching is solid, clear, and truly rooted in Scripture, which we deeply appreciate. It’s a place where you can come to learn and grow in your faith. The congregation is incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, people made us feel at home and part of the church family. One of the things we value most is how engaged our entire family is. Our children love being involved in the youth ministry and children’s ministry, and it’s encouraging to see them learning about the Lord and building friendships in a Christ-centered environment. We are very grateful to have found such a faithful, welcoming church community.

    Calvary Chapel has been our home church since 2007. My husband was a staunch UNbeliever before we started coming to Calvary. The only reason he would even accompany me to church was the fact that Malcom goes through the Bible. He sat in his pew for a few years, and in April 2010, he gave his life to the Lord, and I re-committed myself to the Lord! ❤️ We have experienced so much since we started our journey with Calvary (2007-now)..We call our friends from church our “church family” because that is what they have become. We have 5 kids, Calvary has come alongside our family through our oldest son’s decline, and ultimately his passing. 💔Meals have been delivered to us, flowers sent. We had a huge support in our darkest time as a family. It was made clear that our sweet Beau was a blessing, always.❤️ We have been so blessed to call Calvary our home church. We’ve made a lot of friends, and have grown in our relationship with Christ. Our pastors have poured into us, and helped in various personal situations. ❤️Our kids absolutely love their time with their peers in youth group, and the various activities they do throughout the year. We love our Calvary Chapel family!

    Attending Calvary Chapel of Merritt Island has been a blessing and highlight of my life. It is here where the Word of God is taught faithfully and in depth, always pointing the congregation to Jesus. At CCMI, headed by the wonderful Pastor Malcom Wild, I have been equipped and strengthened in my walk with God. The fellowship is rich and the congregation is caring, always ready to serve others. The worship team is amazing, leading authentic, Spirit-filled worship bringing glory to the Lord. Multiple opportunities and ministries are available to stay connected to fellow believers. What stands out to me the most at CCMI is the LOVE of Jesus displayed in the pastors, the leadership and the congregation. It is a privilege to attend and worship at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island.

    I had a great experience at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island this morning! Pastor Malcolm Wild provided a great teaching message and the worship was amazing. I understand Pastor Malcom came to Merritt Island in the 80s after serving under prominent Calvary Chapel founder Chuck Smith in California. Very cool to see a heritage of faith continuing today from the early Jesus Movement origins!

    I would just like to say what a blessing. CCMI has been to me personally in my growth and understanding the Lord‘s will for my life and for the love that Jesus has for me. I have been with Calvary Chapel for over 40 years. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be involved with the tape ministry serving and learning so much from the services of Malcolm Wild and the assistant pastors including recording women’s Bible studies and special guests that we have had over the decades. I have come to understand and learn The importance of Malcolm‘s style of teaching verse by verse joining together the Old Testament with the New Testament through references of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit being the one true triune God of all that is and ever will be. I have been blessed through the decades with the privilege of Serving others at the Pastors Conferences and Men’s Prayer Breakfasts And weekly serving in the after service of helping with coffee and refreshments in our fellowship hall.

    I have been a member at ccmi for 16 years since moving to Merritt Island. Prior to that I listened to Pastor Malcolm's teachings on the radio,Sound Truth, for 10 years. The teachings are true to the Word of God, the Bible, consistently. Ccmi has one of the finest Children's Ministries in Brevard County. Our Youth and young adults are amazing!There's much Outreach opportunity, the annual Southeast Pastors Conference, missionaries... I could go on and on, but why don't you come and experience this loving Faith Family firsthand. It truly is beautiful

    Calvary Chapel Merritt Island has been truly a wonderful blessing from the Lord. A home of sorts away from our heavenly home. A place where fellow believers in the Lord Christ Jesus gather together to worship Him and grow in His grace. Admonishing one another in humility, bearing with one another, and building each other up as living stones. Loving the Lord with our all and one another just as the Lord loves us. I encourage anyone, whether secretly or openly, who is feeling weak, condemned, ashamed, guilty, overwhelmed, convicted, or spiritually dry to come. Remember, all things are laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts. Today is the day of salvation! For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. His grace is sufficient for you. The payment He made on our behalves once for all. His lovingkindness endures forever! What Jesus did for us over two thousand years ago is still just as applicable, personal, and close for us all today as it was then. He who was and is alive. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood - and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father - to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. God bless and looking forward to seeing you soon!

    I love Calvery Chapel in Merritt Island because the pastors really care about bringing people to Christ. They do this by helping new Christians understand the truth in the Bible. They continue to support the Truth in ministry and by example. The congregation is full of kind, generous people that also support each other in their walk with the Lord.

    Wonderful Bible teaching - the entire Bible is taught here from Genesis through Revelation. Lots of friendly people with servant's hearts. Excellent fellowship. Everyone is welcome.
