Our Mission
We believe that the mission of a New Testament Church is to go
into all the world and preach the gospel to every person, to baptize those that
believe, and to teach them that believe, to follow all things found in the
scriptures.
What We Stand For
In a world filled with perplexity, violence and turmoil,
Calvary Baptist Church, though small in number, is drawn together by belief in
the one true God of the Bible.
Inspired by the infallibility of the completed scriptures
and uplifted by the Blessed Hope of the literal return of Christ for His own, we
steadfastly cling to the belief in the Virgin Birth, the Holy Trinity, the
Sovereignty of God, and salvation by Grace through Faith.
We believe the primary duty of the church, the visible
local assembly of baptized believers, is the Proclamation of the Gospel, and the
power of God unto Salvation to all that believe.
Our spirit is one of love for one another. Our goal
is a life pleasing to our Savior, to be a light in our community, a shelter in
the storm of life, and a seat of learning on which our young people can lean.
Our
Church Ordinances
"Now I praise you, brethren, that
ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to
you" (I Cor. 11:2).
The church was given two ordinances, Baptism and the Lord's Supper. For
further explanations of these ordinances read "The
Baptist Position on the Lord's Supper"
and "The
Baptist Position on Baptism".
