Adult Computer Training "Nonthreatening computer training in a nonthreatening atmosphere" is the motto of our Adult Computer Training program. We offer ten different classes in the evenings and on Saturdays. This includes "Introduction to Computers", "Word Processing" and "Learning the Internet". Classes are inexpensive and usually six weeks long. Calvary Community Development Organization CCDO is the sister organization of Calvary Baptist. The CCDO vision is to reach and help develop Compton spiritually, physically and economically by providing tangible opportunities and examples of the love and power of Jesus Christ. Our Adult Choir is the musical expression of worship during our services here at Calvary. Its primary task is to help lift the congregation spiritually from the earthly and mundane to the heavenly and celestial. The Choir is growing and always has room for one or ten more voices committed to the worshiping of our Lord. Youth Choir*Day Care Center* The Day Care Center is a planned ministry to help to meet a very great need here in our community. We are currently looking for people interested in seeing the dream become a reality. Every other month we spend one Sunday Night celebrating our birthdays and anniversaries at Calvary. Food, friendship and fellowship encourage the close relationships and family atmosphere that Calvary is known for. Food & Emergency Clothes Distribution The first Saturday of every month we give food and emergency clothing out to the less fortunate of our community. Members and donors are encouraged to remember the poor each time they grocery shop. We then collect the food at the church and the items are distributed on the 1st Saturday of every month from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. Calvary is committed to supporting missionaries around the world. Acts 1:8 states, "And ye must be witnesses unto Me, both in Jerusalem and in Judea, and Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth." We support works in Africa, Nova Scotia, Haiti, Jamaica, India, Mexico, and last but not least, in the inner city, which is our Jerusalem, or home (see Target Area Map). The Calvary Men's Ministries is fellowship designed to strengthen a man and his faith in God by teaching him biblical principles on how to live for Christ at home, work and at play. Also, it teaches them to witness for Christ -- as a lifestyle- with both their lives and lips. Our Nursery is opened during the Sunday Morning Service teaching infant to toddler ages about Jesus Christ. This frees the parents to focus on what the Lord is teaching them during the service. Mothers of children in the nursery take turns once a month to help staff the nursery. Volunteers are also needed for this important ministry. The Prayer Line is a 24-hour phone line where someone can call in, and leave his or her prayer request(s). This ministry is monitored daily by designated staff, and each request is lifted up until the Lord answers the prayer, or when the person removes his/her request from the prayer list. "A child that is brought up in Sunday School is seldom brought up in court." In Sunday School there are classes for every age, teaching about God and preparing the students for service to God and humanity. S.A.Y. Yes! Youth Development Center The S.A.Y. Yes! Center is an outreach to the children and families in our neighborhood. The Center is open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 3 to 6 PM. We have four classes from ages 5 through high school. Homework assistance, Bible club, art, practical living skills, computer training, reading, leadership development, college preparation, and daily mentoring are all a part of the daily curriculum. For more information please call 310 631-7933. S.W.A.T. (Soul-Winning Action Teams) Neighborhood Evangelistic Outreach S.W.A.T. teams go out into the neighborhood sharing God's love, the third Saturday of each month. We have evangelism training throughout the year, which prepares us to share our faith with confidence as our Lord commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20. Ushers and greeters are the smiling faces that greet and seat you each Sunday. They can give you directions and answer any questions that you may have concerning the worship service or church in general. We believe that you might be an angel sent by God, because "some have entertained angels unaware", Hebrews 13:1-2. Junior Usher BoardYouth Department Our Youth Department is a growing body of young people interested in seeking God and learning to walk with Him daily. We have several outings and events focused around the interest and needs of the youth; these include 3 on 3 Basketball Tournaments, weekly outreach to neighborhood schools, etc. We focus on preparing the next generation of spiritual leaders. Wednesday Night Bible Study and Prayer Meetings This is one of the important gatherings of the week. Everyone can get involved and participate in the bible study or prayer service. Each mid-week service starts at 7 PM and is designed especially for individual member participation. The monthly Wednesday night schedule is as follows; 1st Wednesday Sunday School Summary (Each class participates in the Bible study)Women's Ministries The Women's Ministry is fellowship, Bible study, training, prayer and fun, seeking to encourage women in their walks with God and in reaching out to other women through various evangelistic programs.
