Overview
I count it a privilege and awesome responsibility to be the Missions Pastor at Calvary Fellowship Church. CFC has demonstrated its commitment to missions since its beginning and my wife and I have experienced that commitment through their support of us as we served overseas at Black Forest Academy for thirteen years. My goal is to be an enabler of global disciple-making by challenging others to make disciples wherever He leads you. Please feel free to come alongside us and join in any way you can in support of our missionaries. - Bill Bateman, Missions Pastor
Supporting Missionaries
CFC allocates a significant amount of the general fund giving toward the support of missions and missionaries both locally and around the world. Missionaries seek support through a variety of sources and many individuals at CFC provide direct support for missionaries above and beyond their normal giving. The direct involvement in the ministry of our missionaries strengthens the faith of both giver and recipient. If you would like to support one of our missionaries please contact that missionary directly to determine their needs and the means of giving to their ministry. Email addresses for each missionary are included on their ministry page.
Philosophy
In keeping with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19,20) as believers, we are all to be involved in global disciple-making. While church planting is a noble intent, it can only come after disciples of Jesus Christ have been made. And while the traditional approach to missions has yielded significant advances for God's Kingdom over the years, we must continue to be looking for new approaches to being salt and light in this dark world. International Christian Education, Business as Missions and Short Term Trips are just a few of the avenues we are exploring to do our part as a body of believers committed to global disciple-making.
Missions Application
If you are a member of Calvary Fellowship Church and would like to make a transition into long-term career missions, please contact the missions pastor. It is critical that the sponsoring mission agency for your endeavors have a doctrinal statement that is in accordance with that of Calvary Fellowship Church. Please refer to Calvary's Summarized Articles of Faith. A sampling of mission agencies that are already approved by CFC include: CrossWorld, Campus Crusade for Christ, Wycliffe, Liebenzell, New Church Initiatives, TEAM, Navigators, SIM, BMW, BCM and Child Evangelism Fellowship.
