Who We Are
Calvary Bible Church is an Evangelical Free Church.  The Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) is a movement of more than 1,600 autonomous churches united by a mutual commitment to serve the Lord Jesus Christ  with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and in obedience to the Word of God.  We are committed to cooperate with one another in ministry and fellowship as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission which Christ has entrusted to His Church. The growing ministry of the EFCA currently extends to over 40 countries of the world.
The terms "Evangelical" and "Free" in our society have come to mean different things to different people. Though they may seem outdated to some, or watered down to others, we invite you to read the definitions below to get a glimpse of why they are foundational to us as a denomination. Though they may be older terms, they are as relevant today as when they were chosen by our EFCA forefathers.
 
What does "Evangelical" mean?
The term "Evangelical" refers to our faith, our theology. We are committed to the proclamation of the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, and to the Scriptures as being the inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God.
 
What does "Free" mean?
The term "Free" refers to the autonomy of local churches, as well as to a congregational form of government.  Evangelical Free Churches depend upon the active participation of lay people in their decisions and ministries.
