Mission
Statement
The
Session of Calvary Presbyterian Church has adopted the following
as the Mission Statement of the church:
- To be God's
called community located in the Glendale area, a witness to the
greater LA area, a believing community saved by the grace of Christ,
called together to worship and honor our Lord, to follow the true
church of the centuries in preaching the word and administering
the sacraments.
- In a pluralistic
world and location, to preach the narrow way, the truth and life
in Jesus Christ. To faithfully proclaim the gospel to every ethnic
and socio-cultural group.
- In a time
of apostasy and error, to earnestly contend for the faith once
delivered to the saints, the evangelical Reformed Protestant faith
recovered by the Reformers, Luther, Calvin, and in our own tradition
exemplified in the Westminster Standards.
- In a time
when churches prefer convenience and marketing to current appetites,
to faithfully provide the uncompromised preaching of the word
and worship that is God-centered.
- To use our
location and assets to spread God's word to our immediate location
and to the uttermost parts of the world.
- To be a witness
of Christian love and fellowship that will make the world know
we are Christ's disciples. To be a refuge to those who are lost,
confused, afraid or alone, a refuge pointing to the true refuge
of Christ.
- To grow together
in grace, love, unity and sanctification so that corporately and
individually we will be found spotless at the appearing of Jesus
Christ. To add to our numbers, as God elects, those who would
be part of our body.
- To minister
to each other and the needful world around us.
Our mission statement recognizes the great command of our Lord
Jesus Christ and His perfect example as a standard of guidance
and action that is immediate, ongoing, and directed toward the
real people we live and work with everyday.
