Calvary Chapel Georgetown Divide

What are services like?
Whenever the early Christians gathered together, they worshiped God in music, prayer, communion and the reading and teaching of the Scriptures. Here at Calvary Chapel we want to maintain this uncomplicated model at our weekly services. We emphasize the worship of God in song because it is inspirational and puts our praise to music; we emphasize content-packed Bible teaching because God's Book is His revelation of Himself and is His voice speaking to us; we emphasize prayer because it is the essence of intimate fellowship with God; we emphasize communion and baptism because Jesus commanded them and because they speak of Him; and above all we emphasize Jesus Christ as Lord—as the visible image of the invisible God and everything that the Father wanted to say.

What is the community like?
The church, like Jesus, lives to glorify God and bless others. Every follower of Jesus is endowed with spiritual gifts from God, not to keep but to give away in order to strengthen fellow believers for good works and care for their needs. In other words, we want to be like Jesus in everything we do. Because we live on a remote rural ridge in the Sierra foothills, our largest weekly gathering is Sunday morning. We have several weekly home fellowships rather than mid-week services, emphasizing Bible study, open discussion, prayer and good fellowship. There are also weekly Youth, Young Adult and Prayer groups that emphasize outreach, community service and growing is Jesus' love in a rapidly changing world. Our Men's and Women's fellowships, weekly Food Give-Away and our new Motorcycle Ministry have the same passions, with an emphasis on retreats and outreach. Missions here are vital, fulfilling Jesus' command to preach the Gospel and make disciples locally, regionally and globally. We encourage and facilitate short and medium-term mission trips and support full-time missionaries serving around the world. Calvary Chapel Georgetown Divide also serves as a base for other outreaches and discipleship efforts, including "Biblical Dinners" and "Galilean Wedding" presentations, Youth Coffee House ministry, Law Enforcement Chaplaincy and Chaplaincy training, study tours of Israel, Turkey, Greece and Jordan, providing guest speakers and musicians short term to various ministries and much, much more. But our great passions will always be Jesus, teaching the BIble and loving one another in deeds, not just good words...

What if I'm not a Christian?
Going to church will not save your soul, nor will being a good person. Everyone has sinned—rebelled against God one way or another. God's penalty for sin is death—and Jesus, when He was executed on the cross, paid that penalty in full. Then He came back to life three days later, never to die again, to prove He has the power to save people—save you—from your guilt before God and from hell, and take you to Heaven. Forever. This is the best news ever. Look to Jesus and put all you faith in Him—that He did it all for you to save you from your sins and take you to heaven. And follow Him—He has always loved you, and even though He is Lord of the universe, you are now His kid. It doesn't get better than that. See you in heaven.
