Fall Kickoff 2022 | Calvary Bible Church

At Calvary Bible Church, we believe that God has called us to gather together to worship, grow, and serve. Through this ministry, we are brought to maturity in Christ. God then scatters us into our homes, workplaces, communities, and around the world to share the good news of Jesus with everyone.

Each fall marks the start of a new ministry season. We invite you to find ways for your family to join us!

Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." Mark 16:15

Short-Term Missions

Evangelism Class - Silencing the Stones

The idea of being involved in personal evangelism can conjure up fears, uncertainties, felt inabilities, and even thoughts of “that’s not my thing.” However, every Christ follower has a mission field...could be family, friends, neighbors, co-workers or all of the above.

Silencing The Stones is a 4-week elective starting on September 11 to help train participants in, and be comfortable with, a fruitful evangelistic process that is biblical, joy-producing, and based on who you are (and can even be fun!). Register for the class below:
