Our Beliefs
God: There is one God in three persons; the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, and God is the Creator of everyone and everything (Genesis 1-2; John 1:32-34) The Bible: Scripture is the inspired Word of God, entirely true and trustworthy, and the authority of all our belief and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Gospel: Faith in the life, atoning death, and glorious resurrection of Jesus is the only way for anyone to be saved from sin and to have a relationship with God (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) The Church: The church is the body of Christ, a community of people dedicated to worship, baptism, communion, prayer, spiritual growth, service and love. Acts 2:42; Ephesians 4:11-16) Outreach: Our task is to impact our community and the world through sharing the gospel, serving those around us, and leading people to Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20). – Calvary Baptist Church Core Values Adopted 2019 |
Purpose
The Calvary Baptist Church is organized for the purpose of advancing and promoting the worship of God through the reading and study of the Holy Bible as the revealed word of God, the teaching and preaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, conducting regular services of worship for the spiritual training, development and benefit of each member and for the winning of souls to Jesus Christ. This church shall be missionary in spirit, extending the Gospel through our organized religious channels to the entire world. It shall exist to provide regular opportunities for public worship, to sustain the ordinances, doctrines and ethics set forth in the New Testament for the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to channel its offerings to the support of the objects of the Kingdom of God.
