Outreach Ministries

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Thank you for you interest in the Outreach Ministries of Calvary Baptist Church. Jesus exhorts us in Matthew 5:16, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” While the church is a place for developing close spiritual relationships, it is also called to reach out and reveal Jesus Christ to the community and to the world (Matthew 28:18-20). The Outreach Ministry of Calvary Baptist Church emphasizes the equipping of the saints (Ephesians 4:12-16) with the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, and the exhorting of the saints to share that message in word and deed (Colossians 4:5-6).

The Means of Equipping

A vital aspect of the Outreach Ministry rests in developing the ability in the saints to be seeking “gospel moments” – that is an occasion to present the gospel to others. Another vital aspect of the Outreach Ministry rests in developing the ability in the saints to clearly present the saving grace of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

By equipping the saints through our Adult Bible Fellowships, Calvary Bible Institute, and Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary, the Outreach Ministries of Calvary Baptist Church seek to make our church a unified community with a heart to reach the lost with the gospel message.

The Means of Exhorting

Our faith in Christ does not rest in merely understanding what Christ said, but who He is. Even throughout the gospels, Christ exhorted his followers to know him (John 8:24; 11:25). When Paul wrote “that I may know him,…” (Philippians 3:10) he was not simply expressing a desire to know the teachings of Christ, but to understand who Christ is by what he has done - for Christ was always at work (John 5:17).

In the same way, the Outreach Ministries of Calvary Baptist Church seeks to make our community a part of our church by hosting Community Health Clinics, extending personal invitations to special events (Vacation Bible School, Special Sundays, and seasonal events), Sports Clinics, Prison Ministry opportunities, and through many other evangelistic opportunities.
