Leadership at Calvary is made up of lay volunteers, professional office staff, trained program personnel, and ordained pastoral staff.
Lay volunteers are the heart of the church and are vital to Calvary’s mission and ministries. The Congregation Council, Board of Deacons, and Ministry Team Leaders consist primarily of lay leaders.
The Congregation Council functions to oversee the life and activities of Calvary and to assure that these reflect the purpose and faith of our church. The council oversees the five areas of ministry within our church as well as others in ministry support.
As the spiritual leaders of our church, Deacons serve our congregation in a number of ways. Specifically the Deacons assist with communion & baptism, train & assist acolytes, participate in Mission Servant Week, meet with new members and facilitate their transition to Calvary, assist the House of Hope, maintain regular contact with members, etc.
