Our Mission
"Give Glory to God and Share Christ's Love!"


Calvary's mission is simple in statement, but deep in meaning. As a result of a prayerful visioning process conducted in early 2007, members of Calvary developed this new mission statement with the vision statements below. We think they provide great insight into our congregation and what we believe our purpose to be.

"We will be faithful to our Lutheran principles of salvation by Grace alone and the priesthood of all believers."

Calvary Lutheran Church's Twelve Vision Statements:

- As the body of Christ, we will keep prayer and worship at the center of our lives. We will provide diverse opportunities for praise, confession, thanksgiving and supplication. We welcome everyone to share in God's Grace and Mercy.

- Calvary acknowledges that education is an essential element in anyone's faith journey and will provide opportunities to encourage all to experience the learning they need to grow in their relationship with Christ.

- Calvary will provide a loving and welcoming community encouraging all people to embrace their faith journey.

- We will share God's love through highly effective church management and internal and external communication. This will be led by dynamic pastoral and lay leadership supported by joyful disciples.

- Calvary will offer opportunities to use our gifts and resources to reach out and spread the word of God to the local and global community.

- We will equip, encourage and acknowledge all members who share with our pastors, the responsibilities for the life and ministry of Calvary.

- In obedience to the Great Commission, we will take every opportunity through our words and actions to share the message of God's saving grace and love, both within and beyond our Calvary family.

- As disciples we will demonstrate our stewardship by freely giving our time, money and talents in service to support our Mission.

- Calvary will be open and transparent in financial matters and will make informed decisions to set priorities and to allocate our resources in support of our Mission, while maintaining financial stability.
