Mission

Our mission is to welcome all who open our doors as we seek to serve our community and world, being led by the example of Jesus Christ.

Two considerations are central to this goal: the sources from which we derive our theological affirmations and the criteria by which we assess the adequacy of our understanding and witness.

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. Our spiritual growth is shaped as we consider the wisdom to be gained from the journey of Christians in the New Testament of the Bible, while never forgetting the spiritual encounters with God contained in the Old Testament of the Bible.

We also pay close attention to the experiences of all people who have called upon God in good days and bad, while respecting the traditions of the Christian Church. Reason affects our understanding of the world as we see it through a Christian perspective.

At Calvary-UMC we:
• Invite others to experience the Good News of Christ
• Decide and act based on the teaching and example of Christ
• Provide opportunities to experience spiritual growth as a part of the Body of Christ
• Expect active participation in worship, study, prayer, fellowship and sharing of time and resources
• Acknowledge the differences among God’s people and strive to respect, understand and learn from each other
• Serve God by serving others
• Trust God to guide our Community of Faith into the future
• Act for the well being of the congregation as a whole
• Practice good stewardship of the resources God gives to us
• Live by these stated values
All of these influences shape our individual beliefs that transform our response to God and each other.

With Open Hearts, Open Doors and Open Minds, we welcome you to join us.
