Bible Study Fellowship

 

Calvary is a praying church. Each Wednesday evening at 6:30 we meet for Bible study and prayer. We are currently studying 1 Thessalonians for 30 minutes, then sharing prayer requests and separating into prayer groups. We make it clear that no one is pressured into praying aloud, but everyone who wishes to participate aloud may. This meeting is over at 7:30. A prayer chain is active when someone has an immediate need. The ladies assemble on Tuesday morning.

 


 

Children's Ministries

 


There is Bible teaching on Sunday morning at 9:45 for children of all ages.

 

There is church for children. They worship with their parents in the auditorium until just before the sermon.

 

There are monthly meetings for teaching, crafts, games, food and fun. Kids' night is for the younger children. NextStep is for older youth.

 

Each summer we have a week of special Bible study, games, crafts, games, food and fun, called Vacation Bible School.

Calvary supports efforts throughout the world to win the lost to Christ.

Rex Furman in the International Director of Coordinators for the mission. Rafael Lubaton is the coordinator for the Philippines. Jim Arnold is the coordinator for East Africa. Calvary has a prayer and financial interest in all of these ministries.

 

After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Calvary sent $10,000 to help several churches recover and rebuild.This is the most recent among several special offerings the Lord has enabled in response to emergencies around the world.

 

In addition, Calvary has a prayer interest in the ministries of several other missionaries.

God has blessed in opening a door for us to broadcast the sermon each Sunday morning over the local, public access TV station, MCTV, channel 3.

Unity

 

 

Calvary, along with Bethel and First Baptist Churches, is responding to the Scriptural command for Christ's disciples to be unified. Unlike past efforts at unity, we are maintaining a commitment to the whole faith (doctrinal purity) at the same time. So far, these three churches, along with members of another in Mendocino, have been meeting for a united evening service every Sunday for a few years.
