Calvary’s Covenant Statement

We make this solemn commitment to God and to one another:

to gather regularly with one another to worship (Heb.10:25)
love, encourage and build up one another in Christ (Ephesians 4:15-16)
to be accountable to one another and to lovingly hold one another to account (Gal.6:1)
to participate in spiritual disciplines that help us to learn and grow together toward maturity in Christ, both individually and corporately (II Tim. 2:15)
to live in unity within God’s family, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and if that unity is threatened, to strive for repentance and reconciliation (John 17:22-23 & Ephesians 4:1-3)
to bear witness to our faith to those outside our fellowship by expressing God’s love, as seen in Jesus Christ, both by our actions and by our words (Acts 1:8)
to care for and preserve the earth God created in whatever ways are open to us (Gen.1:28)
to practise forms of worship and Christian life together that speak meaningfully to our neighbour-hood and city. (Romans 15:1-7)
to seek justice in the world, and in our own Beach community to establish our identity as a community of love, fairness and integrity (Micah 6:8)
to serve the people of our own congregation and beyond it by using the gifts God has given us in recognizing and addressing their needs (Rom.12:6)

Our Ordinances

Believer’s Baptism

We believe that anyone who has declared their personal faith in Christ Jesus should demonstrate that faith by immersion baptism. Calvary offers immersion baptism several times a year to anyone interested in making this public commitment to our Lord. (If you are interested, conact the pastor.)

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

Calvary celebrates the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month and on other special occasions. Participation in the Lord’s Supper is open to anyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ and is regarded as a holy priviledge implying communion with both Jesus Christ and with the other members of the body of Christ.

Offerings

When the offering plate is passed in the service, we welcome any donation you choose to give, but please do not feel obligated to make a donation. We pass the offering plate for our members and adherents to support Calvary’s mission and ministries.
