Our Beliefs

The elders of Calvary are currently rewriting our confession of faith. When completed, it will be in large agreement with the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. As we complete each section, we will be teaching through those doctrines. You can watch those classes here. The doctrines below are a summary of our full doctrinal statement, which can be found in our church constitution. Calvary is an evangelical, complementarian, and baptistic church that holds to the doctrines of grace.

WE TEACH  The Bible is the inerrant, infallible, verbally inspired Word of God.

WE TEACH  The Godhead is Triune, declared in three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; co-equal, identical  in being, power, nature, and glory-each equally deserving worship and obedience.

WE TEACH  God The Son is declared in Jesus Christ, the absolute Deity, virgin born, made flesh, very God and very Man.

WE TEACH  God the Spirit is absolute Deity, a Person whose work is to regenerate, indwell, guide and keep all believers; His work begins by convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement.

WE TEACH  Mankind is declared totally lost and separated from God, created, born with a depraved sin nature, unable to remedy his/her lost estate, without God’s intervention and grace.       

WE TEACH  Salvation is only through the grace of God alone, by faith alone, in the Person and work of Jesus Christ alone.

WE TEACH  The universal Church is made up of regenerated believers from all over the world.  The local church is a visible, geographical expression of the universal Church and exists for the Glory of God, the Good of His people, and the Great Commission.

The Church is the Body of Christ of which Christ is the Head.

WE TEACH  That there are two ordinances commanded in Scripture: water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.  

WE TEACH  The imminent pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

WE TEACH  The bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; the saved unto the resurrection of life and the unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation.
