What we Believe

  • As a "Pentecostal" church we believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as evidenced on the "Day of Pentecost," are available to the church today and that these gifts are part of our arsenal against the works of Satan. 

  • Further that they are designed to build and strengthen the Church as a whole.

  • As the Name "Calvary Grace," indicates, our teachings are based on "The Grace Message," of salvation. 

  • Further, we believe that the saving grace of God is based on His character and His power not on our abilities as human beings.
