A great way to learn about world missions is to attend the annual Calvary Missions Conference. This year, our theme is “Proclaim the Word!” We’ll welcome 31 of our 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.

Missions Pop-up Bookstore — Stop by the Calvary Café during conference events throughout the week to browse and purchase books for all ages about discipleship, evangelism, and missions.

"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching" — 2 Timothy 4:2
