CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS |
|
|
Over the years, the leadership of Calvary Church has considered “planting” another church. Various locations and situations have been prayerfully discussed.
Last year in the providence of God, Khalil Ayoub was led to be the Senior Pastor of Beachside Baptist Church in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. This is a revitalization project. The church has a wonderful location but was declining. Over this past year, Calvary has had the privilege of giving financial support to Beachside Baptist. Do continue to pray for that congregation.
Earlier this year, Matt Thompson, our Middle School Pastor, left to pastor Oak Tree Community Church, a small congregation in Elk Grove, California. Although Calvary is not giving financial help (since they are financially self-supporting), we ask for your prayers. Then recently, Eric Hill, our High School Pastor, left to plant a new church in north Atlanta. We desire to give financial help to that church in its initial stages. All of these pastors and churches deeply appreciate our prayers and encouragement.
So while these churches are not official plants, Calvary has played a vital role in all three churches. We count it a privilege that Khalil, Matt, and Eric were further equipped at Calvary to be effective pastors in these communities.

At this time, Charlotte city leaders and Mecklenburg county health officials have instated a mask mandate, regardless of vaccination status, for all indoor public places in Charlotte.
Therefore, we strongly encourage everyone ages 5+ to wear a mask indoors at Calvary Church. In addition, all Calvary staff, ministry leaders, and volunteers are required to wear masks.
COVID-19 has presented many challenges, but we thank everyone for their understanding and willingness to serve and love others during this pandemic.
