Every journey begins somewhere

If you're thinking about joining the Calvary community, your journey begins with Membership Sessions. In 3 sessions (or 1 turbo-session), find out what Calvary is all about, how you can be a part, and what God can do in us when we follow Him together. Whether you're considering membership or just want to learn more about it means to be Christ-follower, start here.


What is Membership?

  • Membership means making Calvary Church your home church.

  • As a member, you formally join other Christ-followers in pursuing the vision God has for Calvary in the community and the world.

  • As a member, you "do life" with other Christ-followers, and together we all come to understand our roles and responsibilities for making this church body work properly. 

  • As a member, you can expect to be cared for and made to feel you belong (while you make others feel the same way) in a community of people with diverse backgrounds.

Attending church is great, and we're glad you've been attending Calvary. However, belonging to a church community has added value and benefits that you may not even realize yet. Everyone is looking for a place where they fit in and can be of use, and we think church should be that kind of place. Membership Sessions will help you see how joining a church is different from going to one. And no matter what you decide about becoming a member, you'll know what Calvary has to offer and what you can offer to Calvary.


What are the Relational Commitments?

The Relational Commitments are designed to help the members of Calvary Church relate to one another in a way that honors God and promotes authentic relationships. They cover important relational issues:

  • peacemaking and reconciliation

  • marriage and divorce

  • protecting children

  • counseling and confidentiality

  • mutual accountability

In a gospel-centered community, we have voluntarily joined together to encourage and support one another as we worship and enjoy God. It isn’t easy to achieve gospel-centered community or maintain it since each of us bring our own expectations and agendas into church. This diversity can lead to rich discussions and creative ministries; it can also sometimes lead to conflict. That’s where the RCs come in. Each commitment draws forward key principles from God’s Word that serve as relational guidelines for Calvary Church and our members.
