At Calvary we BELIEVE

At the heart of our fellowship lies a steadfast commitment to the foundational truths of the Gospel. We believe that sound doctrine is the bedrock of a vibrant life in Christ, and we hold fast to these eight scriptural pillars:

Divine Creation:

We believe that the universe is the intentional work of a sovereign Creator.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)

Inspiration & Inerrancy of Scripture:

We believe the Bible is the holy, breathed-out Word of God, preserved without error.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Virgin Birth of Christ:

We believe Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of a virgin, being both fully God and fully man.

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (Matthew 1:23)

 

The Deity of Christ:

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, equal in essence to the Father.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)

 

Substitutionary Atonement:

We believe Christ died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice, taking the punishment for our sins upon Himself.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

 

Bodily Resurrection:

We believe Christ rose physically from the grave three days after His death, defeating sin and the power of the grave.

"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." (Luke 24:39)

 

The Physical Return of Christ:

We believe in the literal, visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead.

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him..." (Revelation 1:7)

 

Literal Heaven and Hell:

We believe in the eternal reality of both a place of reward for the redeemed and a place of judgment for the lost.

"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2)

 

These truths are not merely ink on paper; they are the "blessed hope" that governs our worship and our walk. We invite you to join us as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
