Small Groups are groups of 8 - 16 adults that allow us time to fellowship, pray, and discuss the worship sermon message. We also have opportunities in our small groups to minister to one another to meet spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. In short, it is where we do life together.

They meet at various days throughout the week in member homes or at Calvary, depending on the group. The current listing by Day/Time/Location/Availability:

The book of James teaches the timeless truth that Christians must put their faith into action. Knowing God's Word is not enough. We must apply that knowledge to our everyday life, not only in thought but in deed. This twelve-week study written by Dr. David Jeremiah challenges us to WALK IT, DON'T JUST TALK IT. Join us as we dig into this rich and encouraging study.

Meeting upstairs in room 214

Duration: 30 weeks - begins September 21st

Materials Needed: PDF sermon by Charles Spurgeon - A Good Soldier of Jesus Christ; PDF sermon by J.C. Ryle - Are You Fighting; book by Urian Oakes - The Victorious Christian Soldier in Christ's Army; Bible

Intended audience: Men of all ages

This series examines what it means to be A Good Soldier of Jesus Christ - - - a challenge and exhortation from Paul to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:3). And a challenge and exhortation to believers today. We'll unpack sermons from Charles Spurgeon and J.C. Ryle on the topic. And we'll land in the book The Victorious Christian Soldier in Christ's Army written by 17th century theologian Urian Oakes. We'll examine these three sources, each with extensive scriptural support, to learn how we can be good soldiers. How we can soldier on until the end. Endure. Persevere. Triumph. For the Glory of God. And the good of those He's entrusted to us.

Meeting in room 212

Duration: >12 weeks - begins March 9th

Materials Needed: Bible

Intended audience: Everyone

Many different groups claim to be Christian, yet have differing beliefs from each other. Can we simply accept the statement "I am a Christian", or are the underlying beliefs too different? Are any of their beliefs compatible with ours? When it comes to the Gospel, Are We Together?

In this course, we'll learn the beliefs of different groups that call themselves Christian, and evaluate their beliefs to determine whether or not we are together on issues of the Gospel, the Trinity, the Church, Scripture, daily living, and more. In each session, we'll study a group and ask: what is it, where did it come from, what are the core beliefs, what's wrong with it, and how do we talk to people about it? We'll cover Hebrew Roots, Jehovah's Witnesses, Latter-Day Saints/Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, New Apostolic Reformation, and Progressive Christianity (in that order), with references to many more groups.

Currently Studying: Progressive Christianity

Meeting in room 211

Duration: 17 weeks - begins August 3rd

Materials Needed: Bible, Outlines and Study Material provided

Intended audience: Everyone

Many consider Galatians to be the clearest expression of the Gospel in the New Testament. Martin Luther said it was his favorite book of the Bible. The theme is justification by faith through Jesus Christ. Paul argues that salvation is a gift received through faith in Jesus, not through adherence to religious laws or rituals. This theme emphasizes grace, freedom, and the unity of believers in Christ. If you wish to explore this wonderful book, please join us for a verse-by-verse study of Galatians.
