Who We Are
Influencing Idaho’s culture with a biblical worldview
Our Story
Real Impact Idaho is a state chapter of Real Impact, a national ministry connected to the Calvary Chapel movement that educates, equips, and encourages Christians to be a godly influence on culture. Our Idaho chapter operates through Calvary Chapel Star, bringing a biblical perspective to the issues affecting Idaho families, churches, and communities.
We monitor Idaho’s cultural landscape — including social issues, legislation, and public policy — through the lens of Scripture. We believe that when Christians are informed and engaged, they can be the salt and light that transforms their communities from the inside out.
“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” — Matthew 5:13-14
What We Believe
Our beliefs are rooted in the historic Christian faith as expressed through the Calvary Chapel Statement of Faith.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God — our final authority for all matters of faith, doctrine, and practice.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — co-equal and co-eternal in nature, power, and glory.
Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, and His coming return in power and glory.
John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:5-11
Salvation
We believe salvation is a free gift of God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone — not by works, but resulting in a transformed life.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering them to live a godly life, understand Scripture, and serve the body of Christ with spiritual gifts.
John 14:16-17; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
Pro-Life
We believe human life is sacred from conception to natural death. Every person is made in the image of God and deserves protection and dignity at every stage of life.
Psalm 139:13-16; Jeremiah 1:5
Marriage
We believe marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God between one man and one woman — the foundation upon which families and societies are built.
Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6
Israel
We believe God has a continuing plan for the nation of Israel. We stand with Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem as Scripture commands.
Genesis 12:1-3; Romans 11:1-2; Psalm 122:6
