CrossHope Chapel

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on August 28, 2022 by Steve DurkacJanuary 9, 2023

For nearly 12-years CrossHope Chapel was an informal, simpler expression of church, where one could encounter the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, engage others in authentic New Testament fellowship, and be encouraged through the verse-by-verse study of the Bible. It was the open study of the Bible that was probably the mark of CrossHope Chapel as a church fellowship. Opening to a selected book of the Bible and reading chapter by chapter then discussing … Continue reading →

Dispensationalism and Historicism in Eschatology

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 11, 2020 by Steve DurkacJanuary 17, 2023

In recent years I have been going through a theological journey and have been deeply studying the questionable issues in Dispensationalism and Historicism views of eschatology. My own ministerial education has been in the Historicism school of eschatology but I have not been one to make an issue of those who hold to a Dispensationalism school of thought. For some reason I haven’t ran into pre-trib people ridiculing post-trib people, it has always been the … Continue reading →

Our Beginnings

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on May 16, 2019 by Steve DurkacMay 16, 2019

Our church fellowship began on January 6, 2011, meeting on Sunday morning at a community room of a Ryan’s Restaurant on Rangeline Road near I-10 in Tillman’s Corner, Alabama. The manager allowed us to use the room at no cost if we ordered their buffet breakfast, which we did and enjoyed, but after several weeks we all seemed to have gotten our fill of that buffet. We moved our meetings to my house in West Mobile, … Continue reading →

CGN vs CCA

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 7, 2018 by Steve DurkacAugust 19, 2022

CrossHope Chapel is part of the Calvary Global Network, but not the Calvary Chapel Association. We are not opposed to the CCA, we were actually hoping to affiliate with the CCA when the split happened in 2016. As the split began to play out (Calvary Chapel Split) we decided to sign-up with the CGN because we found ourselves out of communication with the CCA. I want to explain the difference for our fellowship, between the … Continue reading →

Calvary Chapel Split

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 15, 2017 by Steve DurkacApril 15, 2017

My connection with Calvary Chapel happened by accident in 2014 while doing a trade name search when changing our church name from West Mobile Bible Fellowship to CrossHope Chapel. In our search, the name Calvary Chapel came up and my memory immediately tied that name to Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. As a new believer in Jesus Christ in 1980 I would cling to every broadcast of Chuck Smith on Christian radio in … Continue reading →
