It originates and is sustained by God's sovereign and loving grace, is based on Christ's saving work, is received by faith alone, and is expressed in a lifetime of developing holiness, obedience, and love. The Church is called to worship God and to demonstrate His gracious character in the world by proclaiming the gospel, making disciples from all nations, observing baptism and the Lord's Supper, maintaining the unity and purity of the body, and seeking to apply the truths of Scripture to the needs of people. W e believe that Christ will return at the close of this age to raise the dead, judge all people, and consummate His kingdom. Unbelievers will be separated from God and experience everlasting conscious torment in hell. Believers will be received into heaven and will experience everlasting life and fellowship with God.
W e believe the Statement of Faith to be an accurate summary of what the Bible teaches.
Calvary Church recognizes that it cannot bind the conscience of individual members in areas where the Bible is silent. Rather, each believer is to be led in those areas by the Lord, to whom he or she is ultimately responsible. All members shall refrain from advocating doctrines that are not included in the Statement of Faith in such a way as to cause dissension. Scripture references are not intended to be exhaustive but to serve as representative texts to support the preceding statement.
