Why Praise Church

About Us

Calvary Chapel of PRAISE Church is a faith-filled, Spirit-led church in Lima, Ohio. We gather to worship Jesus, be transformed by the Word and the Holy Spirit, and grow together in faith.
Our heart is to be “A People Formed for His Praise,” (Isaiah 43:21). Everything we do flows from this purpose—to bring praise and glory to God through our worship, our lives, and the way we love and serve others. We desire to raise up Spirit-filled people who know Jesus, love His Word, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and carry His love into our community and around the world.
We are a non-denominational church, that believes in one God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are centered on worship, the Word, prayer, the presence of God, and serving others. We believe praise is more than a sound. It is a life of surrender, thanksgiving, bold faith, joyful worship, and a heart that point others to Jesus.

Come worship with us and be part of what God is doing at PRAISE Church.
