    We have to celebrate when we accomplish our vision. We have to take some time to celebrate all that God has allowed us to do. We have to evaluate where we were when we began the journey and look at the growth that has taken place. We have to praise God for allowing us to…

    I have been at Calvary for a little less than 4 months now. Since I’ve been there, I have been trying to institute a completely new idea of student ministry…family ministry.
