Forward in Faith - Road to 100 & Beyond

4/11/24 | The Weekly | by Eric Wakeling

    Dear Calvary Family,

    In just seven years, we will celebrate a century of God at work locally and globally through the ministries of Calvary Church! Again and again since 1931, God has made a way where there seemed to be no way through miraculous provision and incredible generosity — including the wartime remodel of “The House” at 6th and French in the 1940s, the “Big Move” from downtown Santa Ana out to the orange groves on Tustin Ave in the 1960s, and the expansion over the years to the 10.5 acres and 187,000 sq. ft. of building space we enjoy as a resource for ministry today.

    Through all of this, the heritage of God’s faithfulness in the past gives us confidence for the present opportunities before us and great hope for the road ahead. Will we do our part now in this generation to steward well this inheritance we have received? How can our investments in this next season impact the future and more fully support all God has called us to be and do as we reach 100 years and beyond?

    As Jesus encouraged His disciples, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need” - Matthew 6:33.

    The heart behind Forward in Faith is to seek Jesus first in all things - in love, discipleship, and dependence. Out of that same heart, our church leadership has cultivated a plan to address the needs and dreams we believe God has called us to pursue as we trust care for our church campus and our community.

    Everyone in the Calvary Church family is invited to come and be part of a special Forward in Faith Vision Night and Dessert on Wednesday, April 24 at 7:00 pm. We will present the goals of Forward in Faith, give an inside look into some plans for Calvary's future, and explore ways you can be part of this next season as we seek the Lord together in prayer as He guides and provides. Then, stay and connect with a time of dessert and conversation. Plus, our midweek ministries for Nursery up through High School will be available. 

    May the Lord bless you and keep you,
    Eric Wakeling
