Highways and Hedges

Outreach Philosophy

"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke 14:23)

The outreach ministry of Calvary Baptist Church is designed to fulfill the mandate of the "Great Commission" to evangelize the lost and to disciple believers. Outreach is the responsibility of every member and is inseparably linked with church growth. Isaiah 54:2 declares to Israel, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lenthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes." By the same token, it is Calvary Baptist Church's desire to enlarge its tent by lengthening the cords and strengthening its stakes through the dual ministry of evangelism and discipleship.
