We officially opened the doors and initiated worship services at our new
church space under a new name:
“Calvary Grace & Truth”.
With this new name came a new schedule: instead of
Sunday afternoon services, we inaugurated Sunday morning services at the
church.
This change was a emotional decision because it required missing Sunday
morning worship services at our other established church- where each member had
become like family to us. However, we believe the morning schedule at
Calvary Grace & Truth will be more conducive for attendance by people in
our new area.
On our final Sunday at the established church, the
lead pastor prayed and laid hands on us to bless and send us to the new
ministry. We felt so loved and supported by
However, starting at a new location is challenging!-
it feels like starting anew all over again: starting to evangelize the
community, passing out flyers and schedules, meeting new people, teaching Bible
studies to practically empty pews...
The Lord encouraged us in this inauguration process
when Eliud, the worship leader at our other established church, felt called by
the Lord to leave the congregation and instead lead worship at Calvary Grace
& Truth (such provision from the Lord when we did not have anyone to lead
the music!).
We believe Eliud is the first of many that the Lord will call to join
his body at Calvary Grace & Truth.
