A BOOK

We believe that the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired word of God. 

A GOD

We believe in the triune nature of one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that the Bible consistently reveals His grace, mercy, compassion, power, love and justice.  

A VILLAGE

We believe that God created humankind in his image to enjoy a special loving relationship with him and others. 

A TRAGEDY

We believe that mankind rebelled against God's perfect plan and that sin has continued to corrupt us and our world ever since. 

ONE SOLUTION

  • We believe that Jesus - God incarnate - came to earth, was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life that revealed all aspects of God's perfect and unconditional love for us.

  • We believe that His death on the cross paid the price for all the sins of the world and allowed people to be restored to the Heavenly Father.

  • We believe that his resurrection paved the way for all believers to have a new life.

  • We believe that Jesus will come again as King of kings and Lord of lords to usher in a new heaven and a new earth.

ONE FAMILY

We believe that anyone who accepts Christ's free gift of salvation is born again and is a member of God's family with all the rights and privileges of a son or daughter of the Creator.

We believe that this includes the opportunity to participate in the Lord's Supper. Therefore, our time of communion is open to each and every one who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. 

"We love him, because he first loved us."

— 1 JOHN 4:19 

A SPIRIT

We believe in the restorative work of God's Holy Spirit. We believe that every Christian has a new life, one that will evidence the characteristics of Christ in correlation with that person's willingness to be guided by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

We believe that every Christian has access to the counsel, wisdom and provision of the Spirit.

We believe that the Spirit enables Christians to function as Christ's representatives on Earth. We believe that whatever we undertake to serve our Lord must be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that without him we accomplish nothing.

A TARGET

We believe that we are called to reflect the love of Jesus in all that we do in order to help all people find and follow the true Jesus. 

A PURPOSE

LOVE GOD

God is love and because he loves us so much, we seek to love him.

  • We adore him.

  • We speak to him through prayer.

  • We allow Him to direct our lives by the power of His Spirit.

We understand that God sees things differently from us and understands us better than we understand ourselves.  

He loves and forgives us more than anyone ever could.  

He also loves and forgives every believer as much as He loves and forgives us. That is why we seek to love and forgive others, even those who do us wrong, through the incredible power of God's Holy Spirit working in our hearts. 

We know that in God's eyes everyone has a unique purpose, one that brings us satisfaction, joy, and we know that we have a part with him in His kingdom.

The Bible is our guide to discovering our role.

It explains the good nature of God the Father and His plan for humanity; the corrupting influence of sin; the restoration found in Jesus, God Incarnate; and the blessing that comes when we are restored to a loving relationship with God by the power of the Holy Spirit.

LIVING LIKE JESUS

Jesus is the head of Calvary Oaxaca. That means we are dedicated to allowing Him to work in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. We strive only to submit to the leading of the Spirit. We want to allow Him to work in us and through us to shine His light wherever we go. To that end, we are all called to bring God's abundant love to our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools and communities. 

"Be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma."

— EPHESIANS 5:1-2

LET HIS SPIRIT GUIDE US

When we accept Christ's sacrifice as payment for our sins, we are born again. As we develop a new life by the power of his Spirit, we become more like Jesus and have the power to bring his love to a dark and desperate world.  

Allowing Christ to be our Savior and Lord is the beginning of a glorious eternity and a more abundant life here on earth, together, we form a family of beloved children of God and heirs of his kingdom.

Salvation is the beginning of a great adventure. Learning more about who God is, what he does and the access we have to his love and faithfulness prepares us for every trial and triumph. The more time we spend with God, the more we reflect his good nature.  

This church is built by people who continually want to be more like Jesus.    

So we help each other study God's Word. We interact with Him through prayer and join in activities designed to reveal more of His love for the world.

"The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you know not whence it comes nor whither it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

— JOHN 3:8
