Why Join Calvary?

1. The church is a spiritual family
“You are citizens along with all of God’s people. You are members of God’s family.” Ephesians 2:19 2. God planned for us to be together!
-“Now all of you together are Christ's body, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27
-“The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up only one body. So it is with the body of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12
-“Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Ephesians 4:16

Why Do I Need a Spiritual Family?

1. I need healthy relationships.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, their friend can help him up. But pity the one who falls and has no one to help him up!" Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

2. I need a place where I can use my gifts.
“Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you…” 1 Timothy 4:14

3. I need a place where I can grow!
“They joined with the other believers and devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, sharing in the breaking of bread and prayer.” Acts 2:42

4. I need to belong to something bigger than myself.
“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:4-5

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…” Hebrews 10:25
