ABOUT US…..
Calvary
Baptist Church has been in Greenville, Michigan for over 65 years proclaiming
the good news of the Bible. If you are new in town or to this church, you would
probably like to know what makes us different from
all the other
churches in town.
A name can
speak volumes, and our name is a good place to start.
Calvary
– The place in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified. He died there for the sins
of the world (and rose again three days later) and offers deliverance from the
penalty of sin to whoever requests that gift.
Baptist–This
speaks of our beliefs concerning member-ship, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, the
authority of the Bible and our method of operation. It means we believe the good
news should be proclaimed here and around the world.
Church–The
word church means, “called out ones.” When
God gives a person new life, He separates them from the old life, characterized
by sin, unto a new life, characterized by righteousness. We are not perfect!
That is why we meet together – to learn how to become more like Christ and to
encourage one another in that process.
All of the
above takes place in an atmosphere of caring and prayerful concern for one
another. We are seeking to be an “ideal” New Testament church whose main focus
is to teach the Bible to those inside and outside our church family.
