Mission Statement of Calvary Episcopal Church
In thanksgiving for having been called as children of God to a life of service, we share with one another the love and obedience of Christ Jesus our Lord. This means that in Calvary Church, as a liturgical church seeking to bring Christ to a world in need, we believe that it is our mission to offer Him:
A. To an expanding circle of friends and acquaintances and to our immediate neighborhood through
