At Calvary316 we place a high emphasis on our Sunday service as it provides the optimal time for the church to gather to worship, partake of communion, and spend time in God’s Word. While we believe consistent attendance on Sunday will afford the most ample opportunity to foster genuine community with other believers, we also recognize the reality that many need another outlet for the development of these important relational connections. This is why we encourage those who attend Calvary316 to “Move Beyond the Sunday Service.” Every other initiative we place our energies and resources into (whether it be our monthly Church Fellowship – Ladies, Men’s, Community, or Youth Events, the Free Cereal Bar, or Home Groups) has been created with the specific desire to help our members create community with one another.

On Sunday, February 9th, we’re going to be having our next Connecting Point. Once a month before the church service (9:15-10:00 AM) Mike Bower leads a small group back in the Blue Room. Open to all, in addition to refreshments, this time is dedicated to building community as well as spending time in prayer. For more information, you can email Pastor Zach at [email protected].

On February 16th, directly following the Sunday service, we’ll be having our monthly Church Potluck. The theme for this month’s get-together is “Scattered, Covered & Saved” so we encourage everyone to bring their favorite breakfast dish to share. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to bring additional items such as plates, drinks, ice, or utensils, simply email Pastor Zach at [email protected]. Upcoming 2025: March 23rd (Crawfish Boil), April TBD (Southern Fixings), May TBD (Mexican), August TBD (BBQ), September TBD (Tailgate), October TBD (Chili Cook-off), November TBD (JB’s Famous Gumbo).

Every Sunday morning following the worship portion of our service all of the 6-10th graders are dismissed for a special youth group hosted by Pastor Derek & and his wife Kellie. In addition to a fun time and relevant Bible study, Sunday provides an awesome opportunity for weekly discipleship and relationship building. Beyond the Sunday experience, Derek and Kellie also organize monthly get-togethers for the kids. For more information about our youth group or details on any of the upcoming events, you can email Pastor Derek at [email protected].

Ladies of Calvary316… For the next few months, we’d like to invite you to join us for a study of the book of Hebrews on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. In this video study, author Jen Wilkin explores how God “provided something better for us” in the person of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 11:40). Through stories of Old Testament heroes and practices, the author of Hebrews demonstrates how the new covenant is superior to the old and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every promise. Each week we’ll explore familiar verses in the context of the entire Bible, learning how to place your hope and faith in Christ alone. Email Jessica Adams at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Join Pastor Zach, Creighton Vaughn, Justin (AKA Spice Daddy), and a rotation of different guys from the church for a conversational Bible study every Wednesday at 8 PM. The show streams on our YouTube channel as well as our Facebook page making it easy to interact in real time. On Thursday the audio is released on our podcast. You can learn more about the ministry of Outlaw Radio by visiting OutlawRadio.org.

Free Coffee & Cereal Every Sunday:

Every Sunday morning before the service we run a full-service cereal and coffee bar free for the whole family! In addition to the fact you can’t get cereal for breakfast at McDonalds, Starbucks, or even Dunkin, we offer cereal because this breakfast luxury is one of the few things our culture has still reserved for the home. While the coffee is available throughout the morning, we reserve the cereal before the service. Come out early, grab a bowl of cereal, and fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Do you have any talents that aren’t being used? Maybe you’re still trying to figure out what gifts you have.  Or, you have always dreamed of experiencing the life of a foreign missionary, but don’t want to commit to something long-term. Perhaps you just need a vacation from the everyday grind but feel bad about just going to the beach or mountains. Calvary 316 has the perfect solution for you!!! If you feel led:  Join us February 2nd-8th, 2025 for a trip to Siguatepeque, Honduras, where we will be assisting Bridges Across the Mission Field in their ministry goals of assisting the missionaries of Honduras in fulfilling their callings.  The goals of this trip will be determined by the talents of those in the group.
