In a nutshell, The Break is committed to teaching, living out, and sharing the truths of God's word - the Bible. To put it another way, we desire to see "the people of God, hearing the word of God, in the presence of God."  Our supreme goal is to develop a deepening, loving relationship with God, our heavenly Father. We believe this relationship comes through faith in Jesus Christ and understanding His word. As a group, we desire to keep every aspect of church life as simple as possible - simple worship, straightforward teaching, open governing policies, and a spiritual family atmosphere. The Break is based squarely upon the Calvary Chapel philosophy of ministry, a summary of which follows: The Break has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

• We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.
• We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
• We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
• We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give a great place to music in our worship.
• We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped.
• We believe worship of God is fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.
