A great way to learn about world missions is to attend the annual Calvary Missions Conference. This year, our theme is “Love Your Neighbor”! We’ll welcome Calvary-supported missionaries and their families to share their stories and their hearts. God is at work across the globe and here at home — you’ll learn more about it throughout this inspiring week!
Meet our missionaries, hear about what God is doing through their ministries, and find out how you can be part of sharing the Gospel locally and around the world.
“Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” — Mark 12:28–31
