About
WE BUILD PEOPLE.
Our passion for God is best seen in our passion for people. We build people UP in Christ so they may love and reflect His character. We build people DOWN into the Word so they may know and obey His Voice. We build people IN to one another so they may have a place and purpose in God’s family. And we build people to go OUT to the world to share the heart of the Father.

Our Beliefs
“If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.” Knowing what you believe gives you confidence and protects you from deception. Our beliefs are grounded in the Holy Bible which tells us what the world is like and how we are to think and live in it.
-
GOD
There is only One True God–ruler and creator of all things and revealed in three persons… Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22
-
GOD THE FATHER
God the Father is the Creator and sustainer of everything. He created man in His own image for fellowship and is calling man back to Himself through Christ after the rebellion and fall of man. 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6;1 Peter 1:3;
-
GOD THE SON
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary work on the cross, bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God. Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 10:38; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Matthew 28:6; Philippians 2:9-11
-
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, guidance in doing what is right, and power to witness. Every believer has access to the Holy Spirit’s gifts when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His guidance daily. Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 14:15-17; 26; Romans 8:26; Romans 15:13; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
-
THE HOLY BIBLE
The Bible is inspired by God and is our all-sufficient rule for faith and conduct. It is the supreme and supernatural source of truth for our Christian beliefs and living. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21
-
MANKIND
Though originally good, Man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19
-
SALVATION
Every person can have restored fellowship with God by grace through salvation in Christ alone. (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8 ; Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5-7
-
ETERNITY
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-46;
-
THE CHURCH
The church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Christ and a part of the bigger whole of the global church. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and to obeying all of His commands as it seeks to bring the gospel to the world. The church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ and making Him known to the world.. Ephesians 1:22,23; Ephesians 2:22; Hebrews 12:23
-
WATER BAPTISM
Anyone who repents of their sin and believes in Christ as their Savior is to be baptized in water. By doing this, they symbolically declare to the world that they have died with Christ and have also been raised to live a new life with Him. We practice water baptism by full immersion. Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4
-
COMMUNION
The Lord’s supper, consisting of bread and fruit of the vine, is a spiritual expression our sharing of the divine nature of Christ, the memorial of his suffering and death, and the prophecy of His second coming. Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
-
FUTURE EVENTS
We believe in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52
Our Values
The following values are the DNA that influences, forms, and directs the actions and beliefs of the people of Calvary Worship Center. Our Beliefs answer the “What” we believe and Our Values answer “Why” we do what we do.
-
The TRANSFORMED LIFE
At the moment of salvation we are supernaturally transformed into a new creation, the old is gone and we are made brand new in Christ. The miracle of the new birth is just the beginning of the transformation God intends for us. Made saints by God we now actively surrender our heart and will to God who through His Holy Spirit daily molds us into His likeness. Our response to the great salvation we possess is to pursue Christ and to be found in Him, to lay hold of Him for which He laid hold of us, to be disciples who make disciples. We refuse to settle or become content with who we were yesterday, God has transformed us by His mighty power and He invites us to always pursue Him and His will for our lives.
-
The SUPERNATURAL LIFE
We worship and serve a supernatural God of miracles and wonders. We do not limit an unlimited God but embrace the reality that He is Spirit and can supernaturally save us, change us, answer our prayers, heal our bodies, transform our marriages, and mightily move heaven and earth on our behalf. He has first given us His Son, Jesus. He was fully God and man in bodily form. He was God incarnate, the Word of God made flesh. He lived a sinless life and purchased our salvation through His shed blood on the cross. He is our supernatural Savior who now sits at the right hand of the Father and intercedes on our behalf. He has also given us the Holy Bible which is the supernatural revelation of God to man that shows the only way to salvation and fellowship with God through Christ. He also has promised us His Holy Spirit to indwell us and baptize us with His presence and supernatural power for life and ministry. He also has given the church, supernatural gifts, or the gifts of the Spirit, for building one another up, testifying to the reality of Jesus, and confirming the Truth of His Holy Word. We also recognize and embrace the reality of the supernatural power of prayer and intercession to release God’s will on earth as it is in Heaven.
-
The DISCIPLE-MAKING LIFE
The last commandment of Jesus to his disciples before he ascended into Heaven was, 'Go and make disciples...' Matt 18:19-20. To be a disciple is to make disciples. This commandment is for all followers of Jesus Christ. That’s what a disciple is, one who follows Christ. Christ has also given the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers who through the supernatural indwelling of the Holy Spirit have the responsibility to lead and equip the body of Christ for works of service (to be disciples and make disciples). The disciple-making life is marked by one who regularly shares their faith and takes an active role in growing believers up in Christ, down in the Word, into one another, and out to the world.
-
The GENEROUS LIFE
How do we know what love is? John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave…” The greatest expression of love is demonstrated through a life of generosity. Generosity is defined as “the spirit and action of freely and frequently giving to others.” The opposite of generosity is selfishness and stinginess. The generous life is marked by a person’s willingness to give joyfully and generously, even sacrificially, to the needs of others. A generous person demonstrates their love of God and people by being touched by the needs of others and helping by generously giving their time, talents and treasures. How much do you love God? The number one indicator of a person’s love of God is how generous they are to the needs of others. To be full of the love of God is to have compassion for others that is quick to give and sacrifice freely and joyfully. To have the heart of God is to have a generous heart for the three things God loves most: His church, the hurting, and the lost.
-
The TRUTH-FILLED LIFE
We are seekers of truth. Jesus is Truth. We embrace the reality that Truth is defined by Jesus Christ as revealed and confirmed in His Word, the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the supernatural revelation of God to man that shows the only way to salvation and fellowship with God, through Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is also our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice and therein contains everything we need for life and godliness in this life and prepares us for an eternity with God in the next.
