Our Biblical Philosophy of Ministry |
At Calvary Baptist Church we recognize that our culture is constantly changing. As a society, our understandings of truth, morality and purpose are in constant flux as we grapple with technological advancements, scientific discoveries and moral revolution. We also recognize that the dominating trend in all of this tends to be movement away from the word of God and His Holy standards and toward a man-centered humanism. How is a church to respond to these developments? Well, we can take great comfort in knowing that the church of the very first century faced a very similar predicament. At Calvary we believe the best way to be relevant to our culture is to do precisely what the first century church did. Namely, stake out our ground on the word of God and declare an undiminished, unchanging gospel to an ever-changing world. We believe our search for relevance begins and ends in the Word of God. For this reason, we have adopted a philosophy of ministry which is firmly rooted in clear Biblical truths. In all that we do at Calvary Baptist Church, we are committed to operating in harmony with the following six principles. |
