THE VISION OF CALVARY INDEPENDENT CHURCH
Our Vision is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and with all our souls and with all our minds and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (Matt. 22:37-39); to love one another as Christ loves us (John 13:34); to live a life empowered by the Holy Spirit; to grow in grace and mercy through our worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism; to promote a spirit of unity and to live in peace with all people in harmony with God's Holy Word--the Bible-- until He comes.
THE MISSION OF CALVARY INDEPENDENT CHURCH
As a part of the body of Christ, our mission is to lovingly lead people to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to faithfully follow Him by developing habits that are beneficial for spiritual growth. Examples of such habits would be involvement in a small group Bible study, regular attendance at church services, daily reading of the Bible, private and family devotions, sharing of Christ with others, use of our spiritual gifts and talents in ministry for the building up of the Body of Christ, and sharing of the message of Christ to the world. Parents are urged to teach and nurture the spiritual life of their children. (John 10:10, Philippians 2:1-11, I Corinthians 12:7, Ephesians 4:11, Ephesians 6:4, Mark 8:34-35, Mark 10:42-45, I Peter 4:10-11).
Our mission is to remember each other in prayer, to aid each other in illness and times of discouragement, and to be gentle in speech and slow to anger (Acts 2:42; James 1:19, 5:14-16).
Our mission is to encourage the systematical giving of a portion of income for the support of the Church according to the principles of I Corinthians 16:2, II Corinthians 9:7, Genesis 14:20(b), and Proverbs 3:9.
Our mission is to encourage members to pursue Christ-like living as an "example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity" (I John 2:15, Romans 12:1,2, I Timothy 4:12). Each member is expected to avoid any word or deed that may be harmful in its influence on other believers (Romans 14:13,21).
