"We are saved through Christ alone, by faith alone, but not by a faith which remains alone. True salvation always results in good works and a changed life."
Tim Keller

How do I volunteer for special events and outreaches?
Special events happen throughout the year and the Special Events Team ("SET") for Calvary is a group of people who are use their skills (whatever they are) to build the kingdom, regardless of the specific ministry area. It functions like a master list of amazing people who want to serve in rotation for various ministries and events. You'll serve in rotation with others for upcoming special events at Calvary. You will use your gifts to serve God collectively and in community with others in the church family.

How do I volunteer with facilities?
The facilities team uses their gifts to keep the church building maintained and the facilities up-to-date. This team meets periodically to do a walk-thru of the building, and makes recommendations for repairs and maintenance . You don't have to be a church member, and no special skills are required. Just a willingness to get involved and serve alongside of others.
