Calvary focuses its mission and vision around the theme, “To Know Jesus and To Make Him Known: Faithfully, Boldly, Excellently.” This vision statement encourages each of us to be in the Word, to share the Word, and to use our talents to God’s glory each day. In doing so,
we shine bright and bring God’s light of salvation to a world dark with sin.
