Global Missions & GO Trips
Calvary Church is committed to reaching the world for Christ!
We currently support 83 missionary families who serve in 43 countries around the world. Calvary missionaries share the Gospel through personal ministry, Bible translation, planting churches, discipling believers, and training and equipping local believers to reach their own countries.
Global Outreach Trips (GO Trips) provide opportunities for our Calvary family to participate in short-term missions trips around the world.
Below you'll find ways you can get involved in world missions projects and activities and ways you can support our missionaries through prayer.
