About Us
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Grand Rapids Calvary Church is a loving community of people who desire a deeper relationship with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a deeper fellowship with all of God’s children. Our congregation is welcoming and dedicated. We strive to be one family under God and that shines in our worship, events, and community. When you come to Grand Rapids Calvary Church you will find a relaxed atmosphere. Dress is casual. Our music is a blended mix of traditional and contemporary.
We hold events throughout the year, during worship and for our community that includes, the blessing of the backpacks, teacher appreciation, Christmas Bazaar, baked steak dinners, first responders’ appreciation service, graduation and so much more.
If you have young children, you will be hooked. We have great Sunday school teachers who keep our youth engaged and learning. Our children’s sermon is outside the box. There is not a planned sermon. Each week one of our youth brings in a “children’s bag” with an object of their choice from home. The pastor must know what that object is and wing a sermon on it. If they stump the pastor, they get candy. Our youth are able to engage with the pastors and thrive to stump them every week. We also have confirmation classes as well as vacation bible school and youth lock-ins.
Bring your family and friends to praise our Lord and Savior. Become a part of our family and a wonderful community.
-Pastor Scott Carman
Church is not something you go to. It's a family you belong to. That is exactly what you will find when you visit Grand Rapids Calvary Church. We are family. That is why each week we set aside time for what we call joys and cancers. It is a time that we come together as a Christian family and share our joys with one another, so that we can celebrate together. We also share our concerns, so we can lean on and pray for one another. That is what church is about. That is what we are here for. We come together as a family and share the love of Christ, not just Sundays but during the many events this church holds.
During our service you will also find great music. I have always said music is another form of worship. There is a message what we can learn from in every song. We just have to listen to the words as we sing them. Our music is full of the spirir and up lifting. As Christians we are all given different gifts. God gives us different talents to use to spead His message, His story. Calvary has folks with great musical talent that do just that.
You will find our outside of the box children's sermon. Each week one of our youth will bring something from home in a scary suitcase. Whatever the item is that the pastor pulls out he must know what it is and wing a sermon on it. If our youth stumps the pastor, they get candy. This is a time of fun where the congregation and kids interact, laugh, and have fun. There may even be some trash talking.
Most importnatly you will hear a message based on the Word of God. This is a family that belevies in the Book, the Bible. We beleive in one God the father of our family. We beleive in His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We beleive He suffered, died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God. That is who this church is. That is what you will find here. I pray you will enjoy it as much as we do. God Bless!
