“Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it. It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.”

Ephesians 2: 9-10

The Parish Health Ministry works with Stephen Ministers and other ministries at Calvary to meet the needs of members of the church and community. Parish Health Ministry, Stephen Ministry and the Meal Ministry are under the Social Ministry Committee umbrella and are dedicated to Calvary’s mission to:

“Be an example of Christ’s love through service to all people, helping everyone to learn and experience God’s love in the struggles and triumphs of daily life."
