Coffee Break/Little Lambs

Coffee Break is a two-fold ministry that reaches out to women and children in the church and our community. Women meet in small groups to study God's word, while the children learn about God's love through Bible stories, songs and crafts in Story Hour and Little Lambs.

Coffee Break meets Tuesdays at 9:45 - 11 a.m. from September to May.

If you would like more information about this ministry that reaches out to women both at Calvary and in the surrounding community,

Alpha

This is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions. Topics include: “Who is Jesus?”, “Why did Jesus Die?”, “How does God Guide Us?”, “How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?” It is low-key, friendly, fun, and is supported by all the main Christian denominations.

There is more information available in the rack by the Information Center.

Non-Local Outreach

Our Mission Priorities:

We believe God is calling Calvary to support ministries with the following characteristics:
1. Cross-cultural

2. Sustainable, being replicated by native, "in-country" citizens with a long-term exit strategy for the mission

3. Articulated and measurable goals to which they hold themselves accountable

4. Reasonable opportunities for Calvary members to become involved

5. Holistic, related to wider community development as well as spiritual needs

6. Serve as models for development elsewhere

The Non-Local Outreach Team also believes there is value in emphasizing a limited number of areas in which Calvary members can become personally involved. We consider these areas likely to be Mexico, Ecuador, and New Life Fellowship in Queens, New York. In the future we may add Bethlehem due to the numbers who have participated as part of the Mission Discipleship Trip to Bethlehem.
