Worship Service

Please join us this Sunday morning! Our Sunday service is held at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. 

For anyone who cannot attend service in person, a live stream video will be available on our YouTube channel, Calvary Lutheran Chs, during worship time and a link will be available on our website’s Sermon page a few days after the service.

Communion Statement

As we come to the Lord’s Table, we believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Communion. In this sacrament, we receive not just bread and wine, but the true body and blood of Christ, given and shed for the forgiveness of sins. This is the promise that Christ Himself has given to us, as He instituted the sacrament on the night of His betrayal (Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20).

The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 that we should examine ourselves before partaking of the Lord’s Supper, recognizing that it is a holy and sacred act. We come with reverence and repentance, trusting in God’s grace to forgive our sins. We also come in faith, receiving the benefits of this sacrament with thanksgiving and joy, knowing that through it, we are strengthened in our walk with Christ.

The Small Catechism teaches that the Lord’s Supper is a “sacrament of the altar” where Christ gives His true body and blood “for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.” It is a gift of grace that strengthens our faith and unites us with Christ and with one another in the body of believers.

Therefore, we invite all those who are baptized, repentant of their sins, and believe in the true presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper to partake of this holy sacrament. If you are uncertain or not yet ready to receive, we encourage you to speak with the pastor for guidance.

Bible Study

An adult Bible study starts each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall with a time of coffee and conversation, followed by our study of scripture beginning at 8:45 a.m.

Our Mission

Calvary Lutheran Church ;is committed to fostering a strong culture of discipleship through intentional relationships, intentional spiritual growth, and intentional serving.

We seek to build genuine, Christ-centered relationships and, grounded in the Bible and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), strive to do Jesus’ work in Jesus’ way— meeting people where they are and walking alongside them in their discipleship journey with Jesus.

Through intentional spiritual growth, we trust the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to guide people toward spiritual maturity. We encourage every member to deepen their faith, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform lives and lead us to reach the lost. We also prioritize the spiritual growth of families, children, and youth as we share Christ’s love with all.

With a heart for intentional serving, we desire to be a blessing to our community. Our goal is to shine His light in our church, our community, and the world.

Our belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith called the Nicene Creed:

I
believe
in
one
God,
the
Father
Almighty,
maker
of
heaven
and
earth
and
of
all
things
visible
 and
invisible.
 

 And
in
one
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
only‐begotten
Son
of
God,
begotten
of
His
Father
before
all
 worlds,
God
of
God,
Light
of
Light,
very
God
of
very
God,
begotten,
not
made,
being
of
one
 substance
with
the
Father,
by
whom
all
things
were
made;
who
for
us
men
and
for
our
 salvation
came
down
from
heaven
and
was
incarnate
by
the
Holy
Spirit
of
the
virgin
Mary
 and
was
made
man;
and
was
crucified
also
for
us
under
Pontius
Pilate.
He
suffered
and
was
 buried.
And
the
third
day
He
rose
again
according
to
the
Scriptures
and
ascended
into
 heaven
and
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father.
And
He
will
come
again
with
glory
to
judge
 both
the
living
and
the
dead,
whose
kingdom
will
have
no
end.
 

 And
I
believe
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
the
Lord
and
giver
of
life,
who
proceeds
from
the
Father
and
 the
Son,
who
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
together
is
worshiped
and
glorified,
who
spoke
by
 the
prophets.
And
I
believe
in
one
holy
Christian
and
apostolic
Church
I
acknowledge
one
 Baptism
for
the
remission
of
sins,
and
I
look
for
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
and
the
life
of
 the
world
to
come.
Amen.
 


Us
men
means
all
people.


Christian:
The
ancient
text
reads
“catholic,”
meaning
the
whole
Church
as
it
confesses
the
wholeness
of
Christian
doctrine.
