Compelled by Love is a family-friendly mission focus designed to connect with our local community. Often, it may touch the lives of the “least of these,” but the heart of CBL is that all who may be encountered might see and know the love of Jesus by service and by word.

Our local mission reach is not limited to a singular event such as CBL. We serve an outreach breakfast on the first Sunday of each month. We also deploy teams for Disaster Relief and partner with many local ministries.

The mission reach of Calvary is simply to follow Jesus’ instructions, “to go…,” whether that is at work, at play, or at a planned event. We are called to be on mission wherever the Lord chooses to place us.

We partner and serve alongside several ministries across our nation—current partners are in Louisiana, Texas, Oregon, and New York.

We have a connection with Immanuel Community Church of New Orleans that allows us to join their ministry in touching the lives of those who live in their community and grow their church plant. God has opened the door for us to serve alongside Global Gates Ministries and share the Gospel to families and businesses in Queens, NY. Typically each summer, we partner with Beautiful Feet Church of Fort Worth, TX, that meets the needs of the homeless with bread for the soul and bread for life. We have recently partnered with Living Hope Church in Medford, OR and their mission to walk with and share the hope of Christ to a people desperate for restoration.

We partner with several church plants and two particular ministries overseas that minister to countless people in large cities and communities and serve as a beacon of God’s light to a culture of majority lost people.

Each year, we take teams to these countries to partner with church planters and churches in their ministry to make the Gospel and name of Jesus known.

While all ages are welcome, many of these trips involve language barriers, lots of walking, sometimes no AC, and many other unique challenges. We are called and equipped by God to share the name of Jesus across the nations, so we go  as "workers into his harvest."

To be compelled by love is to be compelled by Jesus.
Compelled By Love is a monthly family-friendly opportunity to serve and share the love of Christ in our community. We meet in the CMC around 4:50PM on typically the first Sunday of each month March–October. We form teams, gather supplies, and go out into the community to serve and share the Gospel in love. There are typically service projects and opportunities for all ages!

Come be a part of this special ministry serving the vulnerable in our community! Our Calvary volunteers meet the first Sunday of each month at 6:30AM in the Fellowship Hall for prayer/devotion. We begin serving breakfast to our community at 7:30AM and a time of worship & devotion. Our goal is to not only provide for our community's physical hunger, but to share the Gospel with them. Volunteers are needed to help: cook, grill, serve food, welcome/greet, setup/cleanup, pickup/dropoff guests from the Salvation Army, distribute items from the Jehovah Jireh Tent, and MORE!

Contact the church office for a list of this month's volunteer openings!

Each year, we ask that 7th–12th grade students to pray about participating on this team. If God leads them to go, we ask them to signup, attend a briefing on the trip, and go without knowing the location or type of work we will be doing—even parents don't know. The purpose of this "Mystery Mission" is solely to teach us all to rely on the work of the Holy Spirit as we go serve and share the Gospel for His glory! For more information, contact the Minister of Students.
