Calvary Community Church (Fullerton, CA)

We, at Calvary CC, were excited to present the Easter message of our risen Lord last Sunday. It was exciting as a new pastor here, to see many more pews filled and to dream of the potential that only God, Himself can provide. Pastor Jim's message "The Living One" was a challenge to all of us--why do we (like the women who went to the empty tomb) continue to look for life itself among the dead and decaying? We were asked once again to REMEMBER the words of Jesus!
Continue to pray with us that the Word of God would bear much fruit- both in the hearts of those who are followers of Jesus, and those who still do not know Him as Savior. Pastor Jim speaks on Easter Sunday.


We rent our facilities to three other local church groups: Cornerstone Christian Fellowship (a Filipino church), Monte Horeb (a Hispanic church, whose pastor and family also live on our campus), and Yae Chan (a Korean church). Sometimes trying to juggle the activities of four different church groups becomes difficult for our secretary Dolores, but she does a great job of coordinating everything. The pastors from all four churches meet together every other month to pray and share concerns with each other. We are so thankful for the body of Christ and the beauty of different cultures worshipping and sharing together. Pray that these bonds would be strengthened.

Another important ministry of our church is the "Feed the Hungry" outreach that we provide each month. Many of our people are involved in preparing food, visiting with the homeless people that come to eat, and also donating and distributing clothing and food to the needy that come. God has certainly opened our eyes to the hurting world right here at our door. Pray that God would always keep our hearts tender toward "the least of these."
