A Life With Jesus
At Calvary, we believe following Jesus is more than attending church or believing the right things. Jesus invites us into a whole new way of life—one shaped by his presence, his teaching, and his kingdom.
And we were never meant to do it alone. We need one another as we learn to trust Jesus, become more like him, and join him in what he is doing in the world.
That’s why our mission is simple: Following Jesus. Together.

CONNECTION IS AT THE HEART OF WHO WE ARE
Following Jesus draws us into relationship—with God, with one another, and with the world around us. At Calvary, these three connections shape the kind of community we want to become and the way we live out our faith.
CONNECT WITH GOD
We are learning to build our lives around the presence of God.
We make space to know God through Scripture, prayer, worship, and practices that help us remain rooted in Jesus—not simply on Sundays, but throughout everyday life.

CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER
We believe following Jesus is something we do together.
We pursue genuine community where we are known, encouraged, challenged, and cared for. We practice hospitality, generosity, forgiveness, and peace as we learn to love one another like Jesus.

CONNECT WITH THE LOST AND HURTING
We believe the love of Jesus always moves toward people.
We want to be present in our community, serve those in need, share the good news of Jesus, and use what God has given us for the sake of others—both locally and around the world.

HOW WE BECOME LIKE JESUS
FORMATION FOR REAL LIFE
We believe becoming like Jesus is the work of the Holy Spirit— and we can participate in that work.
TRUTH
We Learn the Way
Scripture and the teachings of Jesus renew our minds, reshapes what we believe, and teach us to see ourselves and the world through the reality of God’s kingdom.

PRACTICE
We Train in the Way
We intentionally arrange our lives around practices that open us to God’s presence and train us to live as Jesus lived—prayer, Scripture, sabbath, fasting, generosity, solitude, hospitality and others.

COMMUNITY
We Follow Together
Transformation happens in relationship. We need people who know us, encourage us, challenge us, forgive us, and walk with us as we learn to love like Jesus.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
GOD DOES IN US WHAT WE CANNOT DO IN OURSELVES
The Holy Spirit is not simply another step in our formation. He is God’s presence and power at work within us—forming the character of Jesus in us and empowering us to live as his people.

BECOMING LIKE JESUS
A PEOPLE TRANSFORMED
Spiritual formation isn’t about trying harder to be a better person. It’s learning to participate with the Holy Spirit in the work he is already doing in us. As we ground ourselves in the truth of Scripture, practice the way of Jesus, and share life in community, the Spirit forms us into people who increasingly think, love, and live like Jesus.

A WAY OF LIFE
Following Jesus isn’t limited to what happens on Sunday. It shapes how we live throughout the week—our relationships, our schedules, our habits, our work, and the way we engage the world around us.
As a church, we’re learning to build our lives around rhythms that keep us connected to Jesus and help us live his way in everyday life.
SCRIPTURE | PRAYER | SABBATH | COMMUNITY | GENEROSITY | HOSPITALITY | FASTING | SERVICE
