ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

At Calvary Baptist Church of Milwaukee, Inc., we are a Christ Centered Church dedicated to rebuilding families in the 53206 zip code and surrounding communities.  All of the work and service we do is carried out through our mission which comes from the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 that directs us,

“To Go into All the World and make Disciples of All People.”

OUR VISION

At Calvary, we strive to be Holy Spirit-filled agents to rebuild our families, our church, and community at large.

In Genesis 37-50, Joseph’s story was told of how God used him to rebuild his family and the nation of Israel, and this is the foundation which we use to inspire us in our everyday lives. We continue to live as disciples of Christ and be rebuilt in His image through prayer, study, and fellowship.  It is through rebuilding families that we pursue our mission of making disciples for Christ.

What We Believe

OUR BELIEFS

God

God has revealed Himself to be the living and true God, perfect in love and righteous in all His ways; one in essence, existence eternally in the three persons of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Scripture is an essential part and trustworthy record of this divine self-disclosure. All the books of the Old and New Testaments, given by divine inspiration, are the written Word of God.

Scripture

God, by His Word and for His glory, freely created the world from nothing. He made people in His own image, as the crown of creation, that people might have fellowship with Him.

Creation

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH GOAL

When we receive a word from God as Jesus did from His Father, whether we agree with it or not, it tells us God loves us and He cares. Revelations like these often come during high mountaintop spiritual times when we are yielded to receive an unusual word from God and they must be protected because the evil one wants to dislodge it from our minds and hearts.

The Youth participate in a wide variety of activities at Calvary Baptist Church including: Sunday School, Youth Church, Community Dinner volunteering, Annual Youth Day, 5th Sunday Youth Services, New Genesis Dance Ministry, Fine Arts Ministry, including Youth Choir.

Youth Service

First, Sunday School is the arm that reaches all ages for Christ. “Reaching” is defined as making contact with a person and motivating him or her to give an honest hearing to the gospel. Since evangelism is giving out the gospel, reaching is basically preevangelism, for it gets people to listen to the gospel.

How We Learn

Small groups offer a place to connect with other believers in fellowship; to grow in our understanding of the Bible, as Jesus' own small group of disciples did; to meet the needs of others in your group in ministry; to become equipped for evangelism; and to worship God through practicing godly behavior.
