And he gave some, apostles;

and some, prophets;

and some, evangelists;

and some, pastors and teachers;

 

For the perfecting of the saints,

for the work of the ministry,

for the edifying of the body of Christ;

 

Till we all come in the unity of the faith,

and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

unto a perfect man, unto the measure

of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

for the work of the ministry.

 

That we be no more children, tossed to

and fro, and carried about with every

wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,

and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie

in wait to deceive;

 

But speaking the truth in love, may

grow up into him in all things, which is

the head, even Christ:

 

From Whom the whole body fitly joined

together and compacted by that which

every joint supplieth, according to the

effectual working in the measure of

every part, maketh increase of the body

unto the edifying of itself in love.

Ephesians 4:11-16

• Morning Worship on Sunday Mornings @ 9:30 a.m.
• Adult Bible Fellowship (Sunday School) on Sunday Mornings @ 11:00 a.m.

Seven adult Sunday school classes meet throughout the building. Classes are divided by approximate age (College-30 yrs, under 40 yrs, 40-60 yrs, etc). There is also a ladies class. Come enjoy the Bible study, fellowship, and accountability that these small-group settings provide. Many Sunday school classes plan their own off-site fellowships and activities.

 

• Evening Worship on Sunday evenings @ 6:00 p.m.
• Prayer Meeting on Wednesdays @ 7 p.m.

• Men’s Prayer Breakfast on the first Saturday of every month (7:30 a.m.)

This time is designed for men to enjoy good food and encourage others with what they are learning from God’s Word. This breakfast is held at the church on the first Saturday of each month and usually lasts about an hour and a half.

• Sunday School Class Fellowships are organized periodically and take place both on and off the church site.
• Dinner 8 Fellowships get together for a time a food and fellowship – once a month (during June, July and August).

Looking for a great way to apply the lessons on the “one another” passages of Scripture? Try Dinner 8! The program runs during June, July and August and it’s a good way to “plan fellowship” and get to know each other better. The program is designed for couples, so if you are single, find a partner and join in the fellowship!

• Discipleship through adult Bible fellowship time and through one-on-one or small group studies.

Service

Bookstore The CBC bookstore offers a variety of resources to adults, singles, families, and youth.

The bookstore also has a lending library with items available for check-out. Access to the bookstore is available through the week; contact the church office for assistance. Cash or check is accepted.

Funeral Dinners are provided for families whose loved one attended Calvary. Side dishes, salads, and desserts are often needed for these dinners. Volunteering to make or provide a food item is a helpful ministry to others.

Hancock Co. Fair Booth Folks from our church have the opportunity to share Christ’s love with the community during this 5-day event.

Host Teen Fellowship Take the opportunity to be a blessing to the teenagers and youth staff by hosting a teen SNAP either at your home or at the church.

Greeter / Usher Being greeted with a smile on Sunday mornings can go a long way in making guests and members feel welcomed. Our greeters and ushers play a pivotal role in welcoming guests, directing them to child care, if needed, and introducing them to other members of the congregation.

Junior Day Camp Our adults and teens play a valuable role in helping this week run smoothly. Helping with registration, game time, crafts, counseling children, and set-up/tear-down are all ways in which our church family can help with junior day camp.

Kids4Truth Clubs A children’s ministry such as Kids4Truth is an excellent way to ‘suffer the little children to come to Christ” (Matthew 19:14) and relies heavily on prayer and the help of many like-minded adults to provide an organized, safe environment through which we can minister to children. Church-member volunteers can help run games, registration, listen to Bible memory verses, teach Bible lessons, or assist van drivers.
