Spiritual Growth Track

Welcome Calvary family to our 14 Points Growth Track. This Growth Track has been carefully and prayerfully developed, and is intended to develop and enhance your spiritual journey in Christ. We want to walk beside you as you tread this two-year path, which is why we've developed this booklet. This booklet is to serve as your journal for your spiritual journey. Within the booklet's pages are brief overview's of each course, along with our DNA that describes who we are as a church. We ask that you travel this journey at your own pace and know that we are encouraging you each step of the way.

The Growth Track begins with our four-week DNA course on taught Wednesday nights in January and August at 7:00pm. We've named this course series our "DNA," and will delve into the core of who we are, what we believe, our values, and our mission. Below is a brief description of each topic, which may also be found in your Growth Track booklet. These booklets may be picked up Wednesday nights and Sundays after service, or during normal business hours.

OUR VALUES - Week 3:

• What you value, you will love, protect, and do.
• Discover the "non-negotiables" of Calvary culture.
• Our decisions are based on...

E – Elements of Worship (Worship will always be a core part of our meetings, either with a musician or a worship DVD.)
S – Souls (There will always be a call for salvation in our meeting, regardless of whether a seeker is present or not.)
S – Shepherd (A caring segment of the meeting that ministers to the specific needs of individuals within the group.)
E – Empassioned Calling (A part of the meeting designed to develop the "giftings" and calling of each.)
N – Nosh (Food or refreshments of some type will always be incorporated at our group meetings.)
C – Community Involvement (A planning segment in each meeting to prepare for an outreach event conducted by the group.)
E – Effective Teaching (A teaching segment from the Word of God.)

The above noted values have been intentionally incorporated into the thinking and planning processes of Calvary’s leadership so that every decision and ministry will reinforce them in the life and culture of Calvary´s church family.
