Caution

Assessment

Calvary Chapel Williamsburg is led by Pastor Tom Hallman, who moved from southern California (Calvary Chapel Living Water in Corona) to Williamsburg in 2005. Services Sunday 10AM, Wednesday 7PM. The church has a Men's Life ministry. Calvary Chapel movement is known for verse-by-verse expository preaching through the Bible, which is a strong positive. Theologically conservative, pre-millennial, with emphasis on the Holy Spirit's work. Good option for men seeking consistent Biblical teaching.
