Calvary Bible Church is a non-denominational Bible Church.  We believe the Bible and teach it as the “sole, supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”  We are an independent church, dependent on the Lord Jesus.  We believe and stand on the “fundamentals of the Christian Faith” and proclaim salvation through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. 

Our worship style is traditional. We love to sing the great hymns of the faith as well as the newer hymns and choruses.  We are a family church and do not promote one age group above another. We believe that every age group is vital to a healthy church and seek to provide opportunities for all to grow in the “grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus.”         If you want to learn more about our “great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” come visit with us this Sunday. A warm welcome awaits you and you’ll be blessed through the teaching of the Word of God and His dear children here at CBC.

Pastor Jones is a 1984 graduate of Tennessee Temple University and a 1992 graduate of Tampa Bay Theological Seminary, an extension ministry of Dallas Theological Seminary.   Come meet the loving and friendly people of CBC this Sunday! 


What Makes a Great Church?

A great church is a loving church!

Remember when we were children and we would clasp our hands together and form a church and a steeple and when you opened the doors you saw all the people?

The last several years I have tried to be faithful in reminding God’s children here at CBC that "a church is not a building or grounds but people, people for whom Christ died and rose again."

As brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are eternally united to Him and to one another! We are God’s family and His love for us overflows in our hearts to one another.

A great church is a local group of people in whose hearts and lives the Lord is first and foremost. It is easy to lose sight of the LORD in our entertainment /sports minded society. Experts tell us the average person watches several hours of TV a day, if time translates to importance, where does the LORD fit in our priorities.

A million-dollar building, thousands of members or a program for every imaginable thing does not guarantee a great church.

A great church is made of a group of people who love a Great and Mighty God with all their hearts and out of their love are committed to serving Him.

A great church is a church whose people are of one heart and mind and they dwell together in unity.

It is a place where love is demonstrated in real and practical ways. God’s children have been given "faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love." The Love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is love." We can do all kinds of services and make all kinds of sacrifices but without love it is of no value (1 Corinthians 13). We have been taught by God to love one another, what more needs to be said? "By love serve one another! Galatians 5:13

A Great church shares the gospel!

1 Thessalonians 1:8  - Jesus died, was buried, is risen and is coming again! That, my friend, is news worth sharing!
