40 days of purpose at calvary

This is the spot to come for information about Calvary's participation in 40 Days of Purpose. We'll be expanding and updating this each week with powerful resources, calendar information, mailing lists and more.

What is 40 Days of Purpose?

Together with hundreds of other churches around the country, Calvary is starting an intense six-week spiritual journey that will answer for each of us the question, "What on earth am I here for?" Between Sunday February 15th and Sunday April 4th our church family and friends will focus on God's five purposes for our lives, and we will seek to take steps of growth in these essential areas.

  Have you ever wondered, "When a person becomes a Christian, why doesn't God just take them on to heaven?" The answer is that God has an assignment for each of us; you were made for a mission. What is that mission? You don't have to speculate. Just as Jesus was leaving to go back to heaven, he left clear instructions for each of us. Come next week and explore the only one of the five purposes we can't do in heaven! Then check out all the ways our church reaches out to our community and our world. Make it your personal challenge to find a mission or outreach to try!
