At Calvary we want more of Jesus for our community, and that includes our marriages. We believe a key component for healthy marriages is surrounding couples with a community of other couples who are willing to be authentic, teachable, and encourage one another. We build this community through yearly workshops with options to meet with a marriage mentor couple or connect with a professional marriage counsellor.

• We offer a workshop called “Table Talks: Couples Edition” which is offered over three sessions. We ask couples to complete an assessment tool created by Prepare and Enrich. The assessment shows strengths and growth areas for each couple; we choose the three most common growth areas in the group to use as our topics for the year.
• We also offer soon-to-be-married couples pre-marriage mentoring with opportunity for engaged couples to learn their strengths and growth areas as a couple with a more “seasoned” couple who will encourage them and give them tools as they start married life together.

Reaching out to people who are without Christ in caring and practical ways.

Calvary’s Outreach Ministry is geared towards making a lasting impact, both locally and globally.

Locally, our church partners on a monthly basis with We Care Ministry in Edmonton’s inner city.  Our involvement in this vital downtown ministry helps to meet the physical needs of our inner city poor, as we distribute food and clothing each time, and to meet their spiritual needs, through personal interaction and prayer.

On a global level, Calvary has been participating in cross-cultural mission trips to Mexico and the Caribbean for over 10 years.  From building houses for under-privileged families, to running life-changing programs for kids, to visiting prisons, our teams always develop a greater missional perspective for life, as well as grow in their understanding of the character of God.

Calvary also supports various long and short-term missionaries in various countries of the world, providing them with ongoing encouragement, prayer support, and financial assistance.

Through our Outreach Ministry, we strive to be relevant, to be actively listening to what God is inviting us to, to making the gospel practical, and to being obedient to His leading in our lives.

One of our core values at Calvary is that every member is a minister, and that the life of our church is enriched by all our members sharing their gifts and skills throughout the week and during Sunday morning worship services.  Therefore it is our practice to rotate through a number of different teachers, from both staff and congregation, in any given teaching series. As each of our teachers are unique, so each contribution is unique as well.

Jesus Christ is the centre of what we believe and what we teach. We aim to integrate the message of the Bible, as God’s Word, into everything we do both inside and outside of our church. We believe the Bible is the story of God’s incredible love for us as ultimately shown in the Person and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The purpose of our Teaching Team is to build up the Body of Christ at Calvary by:

• Identifying members who have the gift of teaching.
• Mentoring teachers who will humbly and continually strive to develop excellence in Biblical understanding and teaching.
• Coordinating regular meetings with the Teaching Team and with other ministry teams to encourage unity, transparency, and consistency.
• Planning upcoming teaching series as we respond in faith to the changing needs of our church and the world around us.

CURRENT TEACHING SERIES

Come, Follow Me

It is Christ who takes initiative with us by asking us to come. The essence of discipleship is simply following Jesus because we love Him. Discipleship is a choice, where we choose to follow Christ rather than all of the other callings from the world.

A Disciple is one who follows Jesus as a natural outflow of love for Christ and others; one who is being transformed through relationship with Christ and with others; one who is intentional in pursuing God in all avenues of life; and one who seeks to encourage others to follow Jesus.

True discipleship with Jesus results in objective changes in our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours that arise during a lifetime of walking with Jesus, learning His ways, responding to His leadership, and caring for others.

The purpose of The Crew Student Ministry is to inspire students to leave a Christ-filled legacy in every relationship through authenticity, openness, and love. The ministry staff hope to inspire students to discover what they are passionate about, and create opportunities for students to use those gifts to encourage others around them. Students involved in The Crew will have the chance to be involved in Bible studies, retreats, and fun events while receiving support in prayer and experiencing life with other students. We invite all students from grade 7-12 to come out and hang with us.

EVENT NIGHTS

Come out every 2nd and 4th Friday night of the month from 7-10pm at Calvary for an evening jam-packed with fun times and a relaxed atmosphere. Each event costs $10 at the door, which goes towards food and fun for the evening. Bring your friends for good food, crazy games and great memories. Follow the Instagram page (@thecrewyouthministry) for weekly event information.

HOME GROUPS

Be a part of the student community within Calvary and join in on The Crew home groups. These groups meet on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month at the Pronk’s House (11302 51 St NW) from 7-9pm. The first time we meet each month, all the students will be encouraged to come with an appetite and enjoy a meal together. During these meetings, we will be learning about the importance of community and challenged to grow deeper with Christ.

INVEST

Invest is a growth opportunity for students who want to take the next step with Christ. This mentoring program requires students to meet monthly or bi-monthly with a mentor from The Crew at a coffee shop or fast-food joint and share life stories, talk about spiritual topics and encourage each other. Mentors will be able to personally challenge students in their walk with Christ. This opportunity is voluntary — not every student has to take part!

Investing in the next generation, that they would become greater!

Calvary’s Young Adult Ministry aims to guide young adults in their search for an authentic relationship with Jesus, whether in their work or social life, in college or university, in travels or down time, or wherever life takes them.

During this season of life, we believe that community is incredibly important for young adults, as it often provides strength and connectedness, openness and accountability, as well as a strong support system for life’s ups and downs.

Our young adult ministry seeks to create an environment for this generation to be authentic, passionate, and healthy. Our home group, which meets on Wednesday nights, has weekly focuses (community meals, how to interpret and apply words we read from the Bible into our lives, community prayer opportunities, and times to care for others), which helps lead us to experience more of Jesus and how we can love others.

Calvary’s Worship Arts Ministry exists to glorify God for who He is, and also for what He has and will accomplish in our lives and in this world.  Singing, playing instruments, painting, and dancing can all be beautiful expressions of our gratitude and praise to God. Although the song, prayers, and scripture reading in each service vary, it is our constant desire to lead our church into life-changing encounters with Jesus Christ.

Generally, Calvary has a worship style that ranges from “unplugged” to contemporary. However, we also integrate old and new forms of hymns in worship.

Calvary is always looking for musicians, vocalists, and tech (sound/media) crew. We are also on the lookout for visual artists who are interested in contributing to our media and for church and community events.  
If you wish to be a part of this creative ministry, please contact us.
