The purpose of Calvary Community Church are threefold:
To worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
To build up the Church of Jesus Christ through the teaching of the Word and the
ministry of the Holy Spirit;
To persuade men and women to repent and confess Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE that there is one living
and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created,
all, upholds all, and governs all.
WE BELIEVE that the SCRIPTURES of the
Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error in the
original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
WE BELIEVE in GOD THE FATHER, an
infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that He
concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers
prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus
Christ.
WE BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST, God's
only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin
birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death,
bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His
people and personal, visible return to earth.
WE BELIEVE in the HOLY SPIRIT, who
came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness,
and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who
believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus
Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of the Biblical
gifts of the Spirit.
WE BELIEVE that all PEOPLE are
sinners by nature and choice and, therefore, are under condemnation; that God
regenerates, by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess
Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the
Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE in the universal CHURCH,
the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated
persons are members.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ
committed two ORDINANACES to the Church: ; 1)baptism, and 2) the Lord's
Supper. We believe in baptism by immersion and communion open to all
believers.
WE BELIEVE also in the LAYING ON OF
HANDS for ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons, and for receiving gifts
of healing by the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible
RETURN OF CHRIST to earth and the establishment of His Kingdom, in the
resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the
righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.
WE BELIEVE in what is termed 'THE
APOSTLES' CREED" as embodying fundamental facts of Christian faith
