Our vision is to become one of Northern California’s premiere churches for leading individuals into a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ and equipping them for service to God and humanity. We envision Mount Calvary as a church passionately committed to the development and transformation of people who will impact the world both locally and globally. Our goal is to help people become spiritually confident, competent, and conscientious servants of God who will make an indelible contribution to the welfare of society through community and ministry-based initiatives that enhance the overall spiritual and moral condition of the world. We seek to provide life-changing experiences of worship, fellowship, discipleship and ministry that compel members to intentionally reach out to the lost at every age and stage in life, touching people around the globe with the love of God. We aim to use various means of evangelism to reach the world with the gospel and provide services to help believers mature as servant leaders who impact their immediate families, communities, counties, state, the nation, and the world. Mount Calvary is determined to be a church where the Spirit leads, the Word feeds, and the ministry meets life’s needs. To that end, we continually strive to be a ministry channel for God to touch human needs through human instruments from the Northern California area to the ends of the earth.
