Calvary Cares

What is Calvary Cares?
What is Calvary Cares?

Calvary Cares is a way for our church to collectively express God’s love to the world. We are called by Jesus to be characterized by our love as his disciples (John 13:35). It is for this reason that we strive to have the heart of a servant and of generosity as we give and serve outside the walls of our church.

The Values of Calvary Cares

Loving the Least
(Matt. 25:40)

Reaching the Next
(Matt. 19:14)

Equipping the Poor
(Psalm 82:3-4)

Establishing the Church
(Matt. 16:18)

Care Partners

Our Care Partners represent us throughout the world as they proclaim the Gospel and serve those in need. Our care for our missionaries is both financial and practical. We support over 50 Care Partners on a monthly basis. Our kids each year also pick a specific Care Partner to bless in addition to our all-church support.

Calvary Cares Projects (2023 Projects)

We partner with other organizations with the purpose of financially supporting them in the pursuit of their mission to make a difference in our world. Each year, our teens also adopt one of our Calvary Cares projects to support.

Beloved Bakes

Through this project we will be helping Beloved Bakes launch in 2023.
