Module Electives
Calvary Membership Course
Senior Pastor John Munro | Room 232, In-person Only (offered Module 1 only)
This course provides a common foundation for those considering Calvary membership. We want everyone to understand who we are, what we believe, and the mission and vision of Calvary Church. Get full details HERE.
Authentic Christianity: A Study of 1 John
Pastor Rob Reece | Banquet Room & Zoom
Jesus said, “On that day, many will say ‘Lord, Lord’… and he will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me.’ People often wrestle with questions such as, “How do I know if I am really saved? What about cultural Christianity?” In this epistle, the apostle John is writing so “that you may know that you have eternal life.” This class will explore the characteristics of authentic Christianity. Come and be challenged to examine your own faith, deepen your knowledge of Scripture, and walk in a manner worthy of your calling.
Discerning God’s Voice in a Noisy Culture
Pastor Sibu Rajappan | Room 1200 & Zoom
We live in a world saturated with cultural noise — messages that constantly challenge our understanding of God’s truth. From questions of identity and purpose to debates over morality, sexuality, and politics, the confusion can feel overwhelming. Amid all this noise, how can we clearly hear the voice of our Shepherd? Come and be equipped to discern God’s voice through His unchanging Word and learn how to anchor your faith and convictions, not in the shifting winds of culture, but in the steady voice of God’s Word.
Biblical Marriage Basics
Pastor Jim Cashwell | Room 136 & Zoom
Whether you are a newlywed or have been married for many years, there are biblical basics upon which we should build our marriages. Perhaps you have never looked at those biblical basics, or you’ve allowed the world’s standards to shape your marriage. God designed marriage; therefore, we will consider His Word to define our roles and responsibilities. Join us as we look at who the Bible says you are and how God created that unique someone just for you. We will look at communication, problem solving, and serving one another. Let’s work to make our good marriages even better!
The Sacredness of Parenting & Raising a Family
Pastor Nathaniel Pearce | Room 402 & Zoom
Scripture is clear that children are a blessed gift from God, but how do they really “bless” their parents? While it is no surprise for parents to raise their children, could it be simultaneously true that children also raise their parents? Rather than a “how-to” class on parenting, in this course we will explore ways God sacredly uses children to “parent their parents” in the raising of a family!
Caring for One Another: A Course in Biblical Counseling
Pastor Jim Pile | Room 401 & Zoom
We all know people in our world who are struggling with addictions, eating disorders, depression, marital problems, and the list goes on and on. We in the church can help (Romans 15:14). We can have confidence in God’s purpose for the church, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the sufficiency of His Word for biblical counseling (2 Timothy 3:16–17). This class will present a biblically grounded vision of the church as a culture for soul care.
Keeping in Step with the Spirit: A Study of Spiritual Gifts & Disciplines
Pastor Andrew McIntyre | Room 445 & Zoom
Jesus said to His disciples, “Come and follow me.” The Christian life is all about following Jesus, living as He lived, but what does a faithful walk with Christ look like, and how can we do it today? In this study, you'll be invited to grow deeper in your walk with Christ by exploring how you, as a believer, can use your God-given spiritual gifts. Learn to live daily under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, to align your thoughts, actions, and heart with the Spirit’s direction through spiritual disciplines, and to cultivate a life marked by spiritual fruit.
Spiritual Leadership
Bill Bailey | Room 446 & Zoom
Scripture is clear that God has gifted men (Ephesians 4:11–13) and women (Titus 2:3–4) to teach, lead, and train others in His church. We will use Scripture and Oswald Chambers' book, Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer, to present and discuss key principles for godly leadership. Participants should purchase the book (available for $10 at the first class or in The Word Room).
Spanish Bible Study: The Book of James
Bill Ogden | Room 242 (Taught in Spanish with no translation)
El estudio bíblico en español de Calvary explorará el libro de Santiago, una guía práctica para la vida en el Reino de Dios. Con un enfoque en las valores eternos, Santiago nos orienta a vivir en este mundo pasajero con la eternidad en vista.
