Why do we do things the way we do?
We live in a time when many congregations have adopted "contemporary" forms for worship. While it may be argued that there is a place for that, we are unabashedly Scriptural, traditional and liturgical --and we are a growing, vibrant, alive congregation! Our worship is full of the simple dignity and richness of the almost 2000 year history of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. If you have never participated in traditional, liturgical worship, come join us for The Holy Eucharist any Sunday. You will find worship that is reverent, centered on our Triune God, evangelical and catholic. At every Sunday service we celebrate in Word and Sacrament --which means the Scriptures are read and preached, and the Sacrament of Holy Communion (the Eucharist) is administered to those baptized Christians who recognize their sinfulness, are repentant and confess the Real Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the consecrated bread and wine.
You will find Mt. Calvary to be a warm, friendly community that is Christ-centered and Spirit-led. We are sincere and caring folks trying to learn what it means to be in the world, but not of the world, as Jesus taught His disciples. We try to be honest, genuine people who find joy in being a community of Christ in this place, and enjoy welcoming others into our midst.
Please join us this Sunday!
