Sunday services begin at 10:30am and typically last 75-90 minutes consisting of praise and worship, prayer and the preaching of the Bible. Our services are designed to be God-honoring opportunities to worship Jesus and encounter God. While there is a time for our members and regular attenders to worship through giving, there is no expectation for guests to contribute financially.

Sunday School for children, youth and adults meets at 9:00am.

Sunday School? Sounds kind of old fashioned, doesn't it? Others have started calling it Bible Fellowships, Community Groups, Connect Groups and Life Groups, but we've decided to stick with good ole' Sunday School.

Through Sunday School we simply try to connect people to God and one another. While worship services are an essential part of our church, you can't have conversations and ask questions in a worship service. The Bible is taught, relationships are formed, and people are cared for.

Sunday School groups for children, youth and adults meet every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. While each group studies the same passage of Scripture and topic each week, our groups each have their own distinct style and flavor – kind of like ice cream! We recommend trying out a Sunday School group as early as your first visit. You are welcome to visit any group at any time—and try out as many as needed until you find one that is a fit for you.  

Our aim on Sunday morning is worship and community. You will see people in church dressed casually in jeans and T-shirts and others in suits and ties. We are not concerned about outward style; we are concerned about the heart.

We love kids! For guests with kids we provide Sunday School at 9:00am and Kids Rock at 10:30am. In each ministry your child will be cared for in a learning environment specifically tailored for their age.  A greeter will connect with you on your arrival and escort you through all the “newness” and answer any questions you may have.  We take security seriously and use a system for child drop-off and pick-up.  All teachers and leaders involved with anyone under the age of eighteen have submitted to a criminal background check.

From the time you arrive, people will greet you and welcome you to Calvary Community Church. When you walk in the main entrance we have a Welcome Center which is conveniently located across from the main doors to the Worship Center. We won¹t just tell you where to go and send you on your way. We will personally escort you and/or your family to where you need to be.

While we have people from many backgrounds and Christian denominations, Calvary is a Baptist church that embraces the rich truths of the Bible while striving to live them out in the 21st century. We are affiliated with the Baptist General Conference, also known as Converge and locally Converge Midamerica.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments (the Holy Bible) are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing. They are our supreme and final authority in faith and life.

We believe in one God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation He was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is fully God and fully man. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, identifying Himself completely with mankind, yet without sin. He honored God’s divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross has made provision for the redemption of human beings from sin. We further believe in His bodily resurrection from the dead on the third day, His ascension into Heaven, His continuing priestly ministry and His future return to earth.

We believe that human beings were created in the image of God in a state of original righteousness, but fell from this state through disobedience, and as a result of this, their moral nature was corrupted and spiritual and physical death ensued. This nature was transmitted through Adam, resulting in the total depravity of all mankind. Humanity’s restoration to fellowship with God is made possible only by the new birth.

We believe that salvation through Christ brings freedom from the guilt, penalty, and power of sin. Christ, having died for our sins, bore the wrath of God, completely satisfying God’s righteous requirements, so that all people may be fully reconciled to Him by grace. Salvation results when an individual receives Jesus Christ in faith. The believer immediately stands perfect in Christ, and may be assured of his standing by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, and the testimony of the Scriptures.

We believe that a local New Testament church is an autonomous congregation of baptized believers under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Each congregation is associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws; exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His word; and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural offices are pastors/elders and deacons. The New Testament also speaks of the universal church as the Body of Christ, which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

We believe in two ordinances given to the church: baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism symbolizes the believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial and triumphant resurrection. It is a pledge on the part of the believer that he intends to live a new life in Christ. We believe infants should be dedicated to the Lord by Christian parents, and that baptism should be reserved for responsible individuals who have experienced saving faith. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of the Lord’s death and of His promised return. It is to be partaken of in a spirit of solemnity and of self-examination. These are matters of obedience to the Lord, but are not essential to salvation.

We believe that God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised, and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord.
