Whether you're thinking about stopping by for just one Sunday or you're interested in sticking with us for a while, we're glad you're checking out Calvin. We have 'welcome' packs to inform you of the Calvin and community groups that are available to you. The following are a few things that could be helpful to know before you get here.

Our Mission

Is to follow Jesus by loving God, loving people and making disciples. Calvin Community Church strives to be a church family that is connected to each other, reaches out beyond our walls, and grows together to follow Jesus' example of love.

Our Values are

Loving God by engaging in worship; following God's word; staying connected; and recognizing God is our provider.

Loving People wherever you are, wherever you go; everyone's welcome; culturally relevant; quality relationships.

Making Disciples - sharing our faith; come as you are but don't stay that way; be the Body to one-another

Life Groups

In between Sundays, people meet by the dozen in homes to discuss the sermon, read the Bible, pray for each other, have fellowship, relationship, accountability, and encourage each other in Christ. These Life Groups are the primary vehicle for discipleship and where each of us has the opportunity to participate in the mission of Calvin Community Church.

Sundays

Calvin Community Church is a group of people who Jesus has saved and sent to be missionaries. We come together as one giant family to worship Jesus each Sunday. During these times you can expect singing, Biblical preaching, and prayer. We meet at 9.15am for a traditional-style service, and at 10.30am for a more contemporary style of service.

On Sundays kids experience...

Relationships with volunteers and age-appropriate programming, learning the story of God and the way of Jesus. Kids of all ages engage in both small- and large-group activities where they learn that their identity is in Christ, that they have belonging in the Church, and that they have a role to play in God's mission.

Lending Library

Our library is packed with books and resources which are available for you to borrow. The library is open on Sunday mornings - why not spend some time browsing this week?

Fishpond Cafe...

Operates on Sundays after the late morning service. This is a good opportunity to meet new people or sit and catch up after a busy week with friends and family.
