Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as preparing church bulletins to making and serving a meal at a homeless shelter.

GROWTH MINISTRIES & OUTREACH MINISTRIES
There are numerous ways to become an active part in the many ministries of Calvary — everything from assisting with the worship services, singing in one of the church choirs, to Bible study groups and teaching Sunday School. The opportunities are endless. You will find many, but not all, of the ministries listed below. Involvement in one of the ministries helps the Calvary community utilize its talents and gifts, and grow spiritually and emotionally. It’s also a lot of fun!

Liturgical Arts:  Help plan and create the liturgical decorations for special seasons of the church year. 

Ushers:  Join a team that helps members and visitors during a designated worship service; greet people and hand out the worship bulletin; collect the offering; and assist with communion.  

Bible Studies: Calvary offers several opportunities to delve deeper into God’s word. Bible studies, and other educational opportunities, are offered throughout the year.

– Adult Bible Study, Tuesdays 1:00pm on ZOOM. New people are welcome. Contact pastorrufus@calvarygb.com for the link.

Calvary Quilters: The Calvary Quilters meet Wednesday mornings to put quilts together. The quilters cut squares, sew them together, and then quilt them. The finished quilts are sent to Lutheran World Relief to be distributed to the needy around the world and also to charities in the local community. Anyone can be a quilter. No experience is necessary.
