MISSIONS

Jesus said to go and make disciples of the nations. He has directed His people to take the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. “Missions” at CalvarySLO  means enthusiastically following that command. We have sent from our fellowship  eleven couples and seven individuals in a wide variety of disciple-making roles. The geographic scope includes campus ministry in the USA to various church plants around the globe. CalvarySLO has ongoing support efforts to EL Salvador in a variety of ministries. As a vital extension of our Church family, we hope you will get to know all these servants through these web opportunities and in-person whenever they visit!
