On Sunday, January 20, as we worship we will observe Sanctity of Life Sunday, remembering God is creator of every human life and recognizing that every life is precious. The white crosses on our front lawn are a visual representation of this truth. "For I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14).

Within Calvary's Family Ministry, our HOME Ministry team provides information and advocacy for families pursuing adoption, foster care, and orphan support.

Many people have a distorted view of "the Gospel.” What is the Gospel? How is it relevant? What difference (if any) does it make in our lives?

The overwhelming theme of the book of Romans is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To study Romans is to learn the central doctrines of authentic Christianity and how to apply it to our lives in a practical way. Do you know the power of the Gospel?

"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16).

"And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ..." 
–Ephesians 4:11
