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. And while we believe consistent attendance on Sunday will afford 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, weekly Prayer Community or Free Cereal Bar, or Home Groups) have been created with the specific desire to help our members create community with one another.

Whether you’re an empty-nester or a new mom we’d like to invite all of the mothers of Calvary316 to join Jessica Adams at the church around 10 AM for a time of fellowship and conversation while the kids play. Coffee and donuts will be provided, but we’d ask that you plan to pack a lunch for your little one. If you are planning to attend, please RSVP each week by texting Jessica at 404-803-2723. Fall Schedule: Monday, October 2nd — Tuesday, October 10th — Monday, October 16th — Monday, October 23rd — Monday, October 30th — Monday, November 6th — Tuesday, November 28th — Monday, December 4th — Monday, December 11th.

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 for before the service. Come out early, grab a bowl of cereal, and fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Tuesday night October 31st we’re going to be having our annual Halloween Outreach at the home of Pastor Zach. Because of the unique proximity of his neighborhood in a roughly rural area, thousands of families flock to his street to go trick-or-treating. Not only will our church have a bounce house in the driveway, provide face-painting for the kids, and hot coffee for parents, we will also undoubtedly give away TONS of candy in the name of Jesus. For the volunteers who come out, please bring some chili to share with your church family! If you’d like to donate candy or if you’re planning to come help, please email [email protected].

On November 26th, directly following the Sunday service, we’ll be having our monthly Church Potluck. The theme is “JB’s Famous Gumbo” so we encourage everyone to bring their favorite dish to share as well as Tupperware if you’d like to take some leftovers home. 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].

Join Pastor Zach, Pope Creighton, Justin (AKA Spice Daddy), and a rotation of different guys from the church for an unscripted-Bible-study every Wednesday night at 8 PM. The show streams on our YouTube channel as well as 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.

If you’re looking for a way to develop a greater connection with the Calvary316 family, we’d like to invite you to join Larry & Leslie Parkin at their home Thursday nights at 7 PM. In addition to a conversational style Bible study, these nights include a great time of fellowship, prayer, and community development.  Child care is provided. For directions to Larry’s house or for more information, email him at [email protected].

In Romans 12:4 the Apostle Paul wrote, “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them!” While it’s true every Sunday the Holy Spirit is clearly at work in our church speaking to us through His Word and that many of the gifts are already evident in the way they manifest organically, it is our conviction these blessings can be enhanced by setting aside time to wait on the moving of the Holy Spirit and giving an opportunity for the gifts to work in our midst corporately.

With this in mind, Wednesday, November 8th we’re going to have a special Pneuma Service. Aside from an extended set of worship, Pastor Zach will be leading a time where we allow the Gifts of the Spirit to manifest and minister in our church community. Doors will open at 6 PM with a free spaghetti dinner. Our service will begin at 7 PM and conclude no later than 8:15 PM. Nursery and childcare will be provided! If you are a follower of Jesus, we encourage you to come out and join us!

We’d like to invite the men of Calvary out for a special “Eat, Pray, Shoot” event on Saturday, November 11th at 10 AM. The morning will begin with an outdoor fire breakfast, followed by a time of prayer. Once the important things are done, the rest of our time will be spent enjoying target practice on the Parkin Range. Feel free to bring any guns you’d like to shoot with enough ammo to share with your brothers. If you have any questions about this event, would like to volunteer to help, or need directions please reach out to Nick Mauney at [email protected].
