Welcome to Calvary Baptist Church

We Believe
We believe the Bible, including the Old & New Testaments, is the divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit.  2Timothy 3:16, 2Peter 1:21

We believe that God is a person, who has revealed Himself as a Trinity in unity...Father, Son, & Holy Spirit...three persons & yet one God.  Det 6:4, Matt 28:19, 1Cor 8:6

We believe Jesus Christ is the image of the invisable God, which is to say He is Himself very God; He took upon Himself
our nature, being conceived by the Holy spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the world; He arose from the dead in the same body in which He was crucified; He assended into Heaven in that same body gloried, where He is now our interceding High Priest; He will come again personally & visibly to set up His Kingdom & to judge the quick & the dead. 
Col 1:15, Phil 2:5-8, Matt 1:18-25, 1Peter 2:24-25, Luke 24, Heb 4:14-16, Acts 1:9-11, 1Thes 4:16-18, Matt 25:31-46, Rev 20:4-6, Rev 20: 11-15

`We believe man was created in the image of God but fell into sin, and in that sense is lost; This is true of all men, & except a man be born again (from above) he cannot see the kingdom of God; Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree;  the retribution of the wicked & unbelieving & reward of the righteous are everlasting; & as the reward is conscious, so is the retribution. 
Gen 1:26-27, Rom 3:10-23, John 3:3, Acts 13:38-39, Acts 4:12, John 3:16, Matt 25:46, 2Cor 5:1, 2Thes 1:7-10

We believe the Church is an elect company of believers baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body; its mission is to witness concerning its Head, the Lord Jesus Christ, preaching the gospel among all nations & people; it will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air before He returns to set up His kingdom.   Acts 2-41, Acts 15:13-17, Eph 1:3-6, 1Cor 12-12-13, Matt 28:19-20, Acts 1:6-8, 1Thes 4:16-18
