Three years of prayer and planning have gone into solidifying Calvary Church’s vision for meeting the needs of members, regular attenders, and visitors, and a strategy for future growth has been established. This capital campaign is the result of that prayer and planning. BWBR architects have developed a long-term master plan for both campuses based on our mission and goals. Our objectives? To address a variety of challenges—our significant need for children’s ministry space on both campuses, create a more inviting and functional gathering space at Roseville Campus, and take care of some deferred maintenance needs.

NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

FOR CALVARY CHURCH WE

GENEROSITY. WE WANT TO

1 TIMOTHY 6:17-19

“COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE

RICH IN THIS PRESENT WORLD

NOT TO BE ARROGANT NOR TO

PUT THEIR HOPE IN WEALTH,

WHICH IS SO UNCERTAIN,

BUT TO PUT THEIR HOPE IN

GOD, WHO RICHLY PROVIDES

US WITH EVERYTHING FOR

OUR ENJOYMENT. COMMAND

THEM TO DO GOOD, TO BE

RICH IN GOOD DEEDS, AND TO

BE GENEROUS AND WILLING

TO SHARE. IN THIS WAY THEY

WILL LAY UP TREASURE FOR

THEMSELVES AS A FIRM

FOUNDATION FOR THE COMING

AGE, SO THAT THEY MAY TAKE

HOLD OF THE LIFE THAT IS

TRULY LIFE.”
