It is our deep desire that your first visit to Calvary Gospel Church is positive, encouraging and life-impacting. To that end, we’d like to give you a quick summary of what you may expect when you stop by. If you have more questions or would simply like to let us know you’re coming, shoot us an email or give us a call at 315-736-0966.
What to Wear. Our church family comes together with no formal dress code. Some enjoy the opportunity to dress up formally while others prefer the comfort of the casual clothes they wear every day. You are welcome to come as you are, with no expectation for anything else!
Service Times. Our Saturday night service begins at 6:00 pm and our Sunday morning service is at 10:30 am at Calvary Gospel Church.
The Drive. Hopefully, you have no problems finding us. Check out our Contact Us page for a map or just plug our address into your GPS! Let us know if you have any problems.
Upon Arrival. After you arrive and park our friendly greeters will meet you at the door. Our greeters can answer any questions you may have.
The Worship. The people of Calvary Gospel Church are of all ages with differing styles and tastes in music which we consider to be a GOOD thing! As a result the songs we incorporate into our services range from contemporary to original to hymns. Our heart is to worship God through songs that glorify Him – this is what the people at our church have in common. Our instruments and voices are a Biblical, corporate, visible, and joyful way in which we praise and worship God. During this time you are welcome to participate in whatever way you prefer, whether by standing, clapping and singing or by sitting and reflecting. So make yourself comfortable and at home!
The Kids. Children’s Church begins at 10:30 am in the downstairs part of our church. The children have a great time learning about how to live a Christ centered life. The Nursery is also available for parents and their little ones, equipped with three private nursing rooms. To learn more about our children’s ministry and nursery, visit our Children’s Ministry page.
Prayer, Offering & Plugs. Each Sunday we take a few moments to share some plugs (announcements) about upcoming events and receive an offering by distributing baskets down each aisle. Take note of any upcoming activities our church is offering which you might be interested in participating in.
The Message. The final element in our Sunday service is the message. Every message is bathed in hours of preparation & prayer and will hopefully challenge you to discover God and His love every time you listen.
Following the Service. When the service concludes, you are welcome to stay and chat with those around you. On your way out, we encourage you to introduce yourself to Pastor Tom & Debbie, who love to make time for guests.
