About Calvary

Faith. Family.
Community.

Our ultimate aim is to glorify Jesus Christ and make Him known to the world. These three values shape everything we do.

Our vision

Disciples who make disciples

Calvary is a family where people grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and experience the life-changing presence of God.

Faith

Faith is the essential element of our relationship with God. Our weekend services grow our faith through worship and the Word.

Family

A strong church is made of strong families. We minister to families as a whole and through children's and student ministries, meeting you where you are.

Community

Our mission to reach the world starts in Northwest Arkansas, through our food pantry, Celebrate Recovery, disaster relief and more.

What we believe

Our beliefs

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the Word of God. It was inspired of God, making it inerrant, and has been preserved throughout generations. As the Word of God, it is our only and final authority, determining all doctrine in which we believe and guiding all manner of living and conduct.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 · 2 Peter 1:19-21 · Romans 16:25-27

God & Jesus Christ

We believe the Bible reveals only One eternally existing God who created all things and by Who all things exist. This God has revealed Himself to humanity as Father (Creator), in His Son (Savior), and by the Holy Spirit (Comforter); these attributes of God are without division of nature, essence, or being. Jesus Christ is the expressed image of the invisible God. The fullness of deity dwells in Jesus Christ bodily. To see Jesus is to see God.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Isaiah 9:6 · John 1:1-14 · John 14:7-9 · Colossians 2:9 · Ephesians 4:4-6 · 1 Timothy 3:16 · Hebrews 1:1-4

Sin & Salvation

Everybody has sinned and is in need of salvation. Salvation is received by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:23-26, 6:23 · Ephesians 2:8-10 · Galatians 2:16 · John 1:11-13

The Gospel

We believe the Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ's life, death, burial, and resurrection. It is the answer to sin and separation from God. We express our faith in Jesus Christ and the Gospel by confessing Jesus Christ is Lord, repenting of sin, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives us the ability. This expression of faith and obedience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 · 1 Peter 4:17 · Romans 10:9-13 · Mark 1:14-15 · Luke 24:46-49 · John 3:1-8 · Matthew 28:17-20 · Acts 2:37-42 · Romans 6:1-7 · Galatians 3:26-29 · Acts 8:12-17 · Acts 10:42-48 · Acts 19:1-6

Christian Living

As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that devotion to the Lord is expressed in all areas of our lives. We love God and love others. We live holy and blameless by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to produce His attributes in us. As a Spirit-filled Church, we believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit that edifies, equips, and unites the Church.
