Our messages are prepared to connect with people's lives by using the ageless wisdom of Scripture and presenting it in a creative, yet straight-forward way. The services are designed to be easily understood by individuals checking out what it really means to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Even long-time Christians find these services invaluable to their spiritual and personal growth.

At Calvary you'll see lots of people in jeans and khakis and not so many in suits and dresses. You're welcome to dress casually, and come as you are.

"Worship" involves communicating with God from our hearts. We believe in a variety of different expressions in worshiping God. On the platform, you might see worship leaders clapping or raising their hands while they sing and the musicians playing various instruments. Sometimes visual or performing arts are also incorporated into the worship. As a Calvary attender, you are welcome to worship God in a way you feel expresses your heart toward him. For some, that's quietly reflecting on the words, for others, that's clapping and singing out.

Often it's helpful during a message to illustrate real life situations through a movie clip, a short dramatic sketch, or a music video. Sometimes these outlets may not be from "Christian" resources per se, but we find secular pieces can also hold great truths about the human condition. We screen the words and subject content closely for use in the church service.

Calvary has a wonderful program for kids, birth through 5th grade. While parents are peacefully enjoying the service, kids can have fun and learn about God at their level. We also have separate programs for girls and guys in Grades 6-8. For locations and directions, stop by the welcome desk.

If you are new to Calvary, please don't feel obligated to give. People will never be pressured to give money here, but regular attenders at Calvary who give, as an act of worship to God, support the many ministries of the local church.

Attending weekend services is a good start, but we hope you'll move beyond being just part of the weekend crowd. You can further your faith, meet people, and learn more about life as a Christ-follower by joining a group, taking classes, and serving in the church in an area you're interested and gifted in.

Be sure to visit the Welcome Desk and talk to one of a variety of people on deck to answer your questions and provide you with printed resources on the Ministry and events at our church. Visit the rest of our website for even more information.
