Our Vision
We exist to express our Passion for Christ and Compassion for People by leading the Calvary congregation in a process of continual rededication of our lives to God through worship that is biblical, coherent, inspiring and meaningful; equipping and mobilizing musicians and artists to offer their gifts as acts of worship; and ministering and reaching out to our congregation and community through prayer ministry, concerts and special events.
