Missions

As a global church, we all experienced the pandemic in unique ways. Traveling is a little different now depending on where we're heading. Despite all of this, we are still called to GO AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS TO ALL PEOPLE IN ALL NATIONS. We are hoping to resume short-term mission trips this year (2022). This will depend on the status of COVID around the world and how each country is individually responding to this crisis. 

We are in communication with our partners and look forward to the day we can resume our ministry together. Calvary continues to support our missionaries financially. Their lives and ministries have been greatly affected just like ours during this difficult time. 


Missionaries from Calvary serve around the world and in our own backyard.
