The Calvary Church Family met on Sunday evening May 5 to make a destiny decision regarding facility expansion. Copies of the one page handout, “For the Glory of the Lord, For the Mission of the Lord,” can be downloaded here or picked up at the Information Desk in our lobby. The membership voted to approve (74-yes; [...]
Theme: Our theme for the year Noble Sisterhood, Proverbs 31:29-31 Three women from different age groups will speak about how God helps them deal with the demands in their lives, their ministries, and how they minister to others. Please join us ladies for a truly inspiration time as we focus on the theme for this year of [...]
Some books you really can’t put down. I read an incredible adventure story during the Christmas holidays: Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man’s Miraculous Survival by Joe Simpson. It’s the mind-boggling account of his near fatal climb of a 21,000 ft. mountain in the Peruvian Andes with his friend, Simon Yates, in [...]
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love it all…the rush, the cooking of special treats, the snow, the family times, the gift giving, the decorating, the parties…but most of all, I love the promises of Christmas. Zacharias and Elizabeth were promised a son named John, and joy and gladness would come with him. [...]

Today (October 28, 2012) we are excited to present a whole new look for the Calvary Church Family. This is actually another step in the process we began almost five years ago when pastors and church leaders met to look at what God was doing in our church, and to discern what was in His [...]
