Starting Point
Everything has a starting point—life, relationships, education, career. But sometimes we forget that faith has a starting point, too. What if it were possible to explore faith freely, ask the questions we all have, and work together to find a new starting point for faith? If you’re new to faith, just checking it out, or coming back to church after some time away, this eight-week small group is a great first step! Join us for Starting Point on Sundays at 9:30am, starting September 14.

Heavy But Hopeful
Now through September 1, tune in to the Pursuing Life podcast for an all new series, Heavy But Hopeful. Over four weeks, we’ll have honest conversations about mental health, faith, and how to keep going when everything feels heavy. Scan the QR code to listen on our website or follow along wherever you find your podcasts.

Women’s Summer Psalms
Ladies! Dive into the Psalms with us for our next summer pop-up event on Thursday, August 21, from 6:30-8:00pm in Fellowship Hall. Come hear from several Calvary women as they walk through some of their favorite Psalms and share what they’re learning. Sign up online.

Parent Hub
Parents: You are the primary disciplers of your children, and we want to equip you for that important role! We created our online Parent Hub to provide you with easy access to resources that will inspire and encourage you as you point your kids towards

Kids’ Ministry

Come be part of shaping the next generation for Christ. Fill out the online serving interest form to get started.

Student Baptism Night
You’re invited to a Calvary Student Ministries baptism night this Wednesday, August 20, at 6:00pm. Come worship with us by the barn and celebrate with several students as they publicly proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ.

Serve at Calvary
Join us on the fourth Sunday of the month to explore where you can use your skill set to serve at Calvary. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, tour ministries of interest, or even take a test drive. Stop by the lobby conference room at 9:30am on Sunday, August 24.

Today’s Resources
This week, we’ll see that the Christian life isn’t meant to be endured until heaven—it’s meant to be lived in Christ, rooted, grounded, and saturated in His love, His Word, and His people. These three anchors shape our priorities, deepen our faith, and move us from going through the motions to living in the overflow of God’s love for and work in us.


Praying for One Another
Global & Family Prayer: Join us Wednesday at 6:30pm in room 317 as we take time to intentionally pray together. Come hear from the Cambodia short-term ministry team as they share about their experience serving alongside Global Partners, Brian & Jody Williams.
Women Praying for the World: Join us Thursday, August 21, at 9:30am in room 317 as we gather to hear from Global Partner, Melea, and pray over all those from Calvary serving around the world.
