Arabic Fellowship

The Arabic fellowship at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa started in 1984 through the encouragement of Pastor Chuck Smith with a small Arabic speaking group that met every Sunday morning for worship, prayer, and Bible study. Shortly, a Sunday evening meeting started at Calvary Chapel Downey that was followed with a Wednesday meeting at Calvary Chapel Downey.

My Name is Onsi J. Mousa and started attending the Arabic Fellowship in 1986. God called me to become the pastor of the fellowship in 1993. Pastor Chuck Smith ordained me in 1994 and our fellowship was incorporated in the same year under the name “Calvary Chapel Arabic Fellowship.” I resigned my secular job in 2004 to become a full time pastor. My wife’s name is Mariam Mousa and we have one daughter, Elizabeth Walker who is married to Craig Walker and lives in Birmingham, England. They attend and serve at Calvary Chapel Birmingham and have two children, Ethan is two and a half years old and Olivia who is one year old.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to be like Christ and become his instrument in fulfilling the great commission in our world.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to build strong and mature Fellowship so that with them we can reach our community and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Bible Inerrancy

We are committed as a church to biblical inerrancy. We assert that the Bible in its original manuscripts is without any error and is the ultimate authority in guiding our lives and ministry, (II Tim. 3:16).

Spiritual Maturity

One of our major goals is to bring our people to maturity in Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-13)

Empowering for the Great Commission

We believe that mature Christians are commanded to carry out the great commission as mandated by the Lord to his disciples before he ascended into heaven and this is our aim for our Fellowship. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Resources

We have Arabic Bibles, New Testaments, and Christian resources in Arabic for distribution to any who request them.
