Assessment

Calvary Chapel Sacramento at calvarysac.org. Led by Pastor Paul. Calvary Chapel movement is generally conservative, Bible-teaching, verse-by-verse. Distinct from Calvary Christian Center (Pastors Phillip & Brenda Goudeaux — co-pastor model with female pastor would be RED). Needs sermon review to confirm this is the right Calvary Chapel and full assessment.
