Pursuing life in Christ happens in the context of relationship.
We were created to live in relationship with God and others. At Calvary, we believe we are both needy and needed. We all experience various challenges, hardships, and struggles with sin and suffering in this world. Yet, we all live together as one connected body, called to carry each other’s burdens and build one another up in love. It is in these relationships that we are able to pursue life in Christ together.
We’re here to help you in your time of need.
We offer resources for individual growth and to equip you to come alongside others who are struggling.
Ephesians 4:15-16
“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
Support Groups
Our support groups provide a unique form of care through a loving community of individuals who share in each other’s experience. We create a safe environment for you to share your story and receive the help you need for healing and restoration. Our groups will also encourage you to draw near to God in your struggle, and embrace His purpose to grow and change you through your present circumstances. We offer a variety of specific groups to meet you in your area of need.
Pastoral Counseling
Helping you heal and grow.
Visitation
At Calvary Church, we desire to create a culture of care. Jesus Himself associates our love for Him with how we have served our brothers and sisters in need (Matt. 24:34-40; James 1:27), and visitation is a simple, yet very tangible way to demonstrate love for them. If you know someone who is homebound, hospitalized, or struggling with other related circumstances, we encourage you to consider a visit or other ways you might personally show care and support.
We also have teams of volunteers that visit on behalf of the pastoral staff. Please let us know if you are aware of someone in the hospital or a homebound person who needs a visit, or if you would like more information regarding the process of joining one of our visitation teams.
