When people ask who Calvary Church is, we respond that we are and desire to be Christ's church in this place. The church is different than any other institution on earth. How? The church is the only institution that Christ Himself promised to build (Matthew 16:18). So the church is the mission of Christ, which means that He is doing somethng in us communally. Christ not only saves individual believers, but is forming a people for His own possession (1 Peter 2:9).

Church membership is one of the key ways that we can experience our heavenly future in our earthly present. How this works can be a bit mind-bending, but hopefully this message clearly explains this kingdom principle. As you listen you’ll see how church membership establishes a new connection between the future and the present, between heaven and earth, and as you fulfill that commitment you will see the blessings of God flow into your life in new and powerful ways.
