Calvary Chapel Aurora

Hippocrate and unethical «small business», I could not trust them for my kids emotional well-​being! They don’t promote to love, be kind and accept one another that Jesus through God teaching us! It’s sad.
They say they are a non-​denominational church that welcomes people from all backgrounds, but when I went there the 1^st time (having a Christian background), they judged me without even knowing me at all. Teachers were rude, giving me a judgmental look that I didn’t understand, and later learned that it was based on what the controlling ex-​wife of my fiancé brainwashing them for. It was shocking!!!
Also, they lied straight into our faces about restriction based on court document that never existed and magically appeared in their system. As of today, they still don’t have explanation why and how it happened. The principle of the school is unresponsive to our request for meetings some cases where it’s inconvenience to them, so we don’t get time where we could make the wrongs right or to protect our values and never seem to care the entire truth based on facts! It’s sad that a Christian school allow this to happen.
They also created a document that was requested by the ex, full of lies, if I had money I would sue them for defamation of character for sure.

This is my new church home. I enjoy every aspect of this church. They have so much to offer every single believer

They are definitely worshippers here.
Sadly, none are in leadership. A six-​month acclimation rule (*snow shovelers allowed) paralyzes overall ministry efforts.
All their energies go into fundraising using their radio station as a donor solicitation machine.
Outreach is one big overhyped fundraising campaign. Staffer Aaron Lorkovic is a liability, over-​promising and under-​delivering. If cut from this staff, he’d have a hard time getting a job outside his parents political sphere. (Following his counsel got me into legal trouble while enduring a divorce.) Arrogant, passive-​aggressive. Clean cut, looks the part of pastor, but that is all. Uses crowdfunding to take his wife on paid vacations in the name of ministry.
Glancing at Google reviews, Lorkovic seems to be consistently rude to anyone who questions his credibility or qualifications to pastor.
Layman Chris Landry’s teaching at the Parenting Group makes Ben Stein look like Jim Carrey… there’s not enough caffeine in the world. A few scattered worshippers among them.
Ed and Marie know about all these leadership flaws and offer ineffective slaps on the wrist. So, if you’re counting on the accountability once championed by Calvary of Costa Mesa, you’re in the wrong place.
Radio tech Patrick McBride, comparable to Cliff Clavin from Cheers, should have been fired years ago. He and former staffer Joel Wheelersburg engaged in an illegal recording of me during a 2015 phone conversation in which I caught each man wire tapping. (Why? Someday I’ll write about it in a book.)
Wheelersburg was later let go and started a new Calvary in Aurora in lei of getting a real job. Starting a Calvary Chapel requires no formal franchise licensing. You could do it. Offer your opinions of the Bible and collect donations, while following someone else’s show script. It is a proven, effective way to grift gullible people… no, you don’t need the Tax Exemption to operate as a Start Up…
Their «TV» ministry couldn’t keep an active URL of their online feed going, (declared with an apology from the pulpit). I solved it with one email; Ed seemed taken aback that I was able to fix it remotely. 6-​month rule prevented me from aiding Ed’s staff. You’re loss, Ed.
The band can sing, but with nothing else really being done in Christ’s Love, so the (bleep) what. 1 Corinthians 13:1.
If Chuck Smith (Calvary’s founder) were still alive, he woulda fired this staff.
I know, I asked Costa Mesa.
After 15 years at Calvary Chapels, this was my last. Done.
Ed needs to do as Tom Stipe years ago did and fire everyone, starting from scratch. As brutal as that was, It Worked.
Update: Wheelersberg and McBride are gone. Lorkovic is probably next. If yet another Calvary Chapel pops up in Aurora or a nearby suburb with Lorkovic as its founding pastor, we’ll know why…
…and Aaron, the post office hiring process is roughly 2 months, If you can pass their test… ;)
Ed seems so embarrassed of his staff choices he added a web domain using his own name vs the Calvary brand. Something about ego, Ed. You’re not that funny from the pulpit.

I’ve been a part of a Calvary Chapel Church for the last 30 years. I have been feeling kind of off with my walk with God. I attended Calvary Chapel Aurora and felt revitalized.
Pastor Ed is an amazing Bible teacher. Very easy to understand, explains the Bible in layman’s terms. Felt very refreshed. Seems to have a really awesome congregation. The worship is fabulous. My heart was totally rejoicing.
I live 35 minutes away without traffic. Very well worth the drive. Feeling blessed. I hope to see you there.

I LOVE this church! I had a difficult time in their high school ministry when I first moved to Aurora and I wasn’t getting fed by the teaching, but after switching to the regular ministry with Pastor Ed I was happy to stay at Calvary. Although I currently attend church with my fiancé, we still visit Calvary often. They have awesome retreats and so many opportunities to get involved while the teaching of Pastor Ed is so down to earth and honest.

Great place to worship. We were living in Aurora for a month and looked for a good place to worship on Sundays. Very welcoming staff, volunteers and congregation. Great modern Christian music and a passionate pastoral staff with a great message. They have a coffee bar in the lower level where folks were meeting before service and a good sized book store. We don’t have children so I can’t comment on their children’s ministry but I will say we saw a lot of kids there. When we are back in the area on a Sunday we will be back to worship here

Worship is fresh and uplifting. Pastor Ed is very real and down-​to-​earth. Service are casual and Bible focused. The church as a whole has a global focus with a lot of missions and outreach.

Fantastic concert. My friend and I saw All Sons and Daughters worship at Calvary. It was incredible. People of all ages were being touched by God.
Calvary also has a radio station. Excellent music selection is played on Saturdays.
This church is a blessing to the greater Denver metro area.

Outstanding! God really moves in this place! The worship and the Word and great church family. Children’s ministry to teach your kids as you are embracing the Word in the sanctuary. Great groups to get involved with, men’s and women’s groups, homeschoolers group, too much going on to list it all hit the website
