Our History:
Calvary Fellowship Internation Church began Janurary 22, 2006 with a Mission to Win the Lost, Connect the Won, Disciple the Connected adn Send the Discipled to Make More Disciples. The truly blessed and prospered our ministry by enabling us to bless many families in our church and through the South Bay are. However, like many smaller churches across America, Calvary was hit very hard by the recent Pandemic. After over two years of only having online services, on June 4, 2022, CFIC returned to having full, in person servcies with only a handful of people. With a borrowed building, and meeting on Saturdays, until we are able to obtain our own facility, our first official public service included Dr. Sesley and 5 adult members.
Calvary is a Contemporary, Charismatic Church that equips average people to become exceptional people. We don't mean this in an arrogant way, we just recognize that once you become a Christian, you become an exceptional person because of He that now lives in you! It is our goal to help people to begin following Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, then to discover who Christ is within them and who they are through their relationship with Him.
The best way to learn about Calvary Fellowship International Church is to attend a worship service. However we have lots of ways we like to describe CFI. Here are a few...
CFIC is:
- A family friendly church...Everybody Is Somebody and Nobody is a Stranger.
- A Disciple Making Church...Everything that we do, from our Weekend Services, to all other programs and services, we are totally focused on fulfilling Matthew 28:19-20:
Matthew 28:19-20 (19)Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20)and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
- A Bible Teaching Church...you will enjoy down to earth relevant teaching.
- Contemporary...our worship is very contemporary.
- Casual...our dress is casual or dressy depending on you.
- Fun...shouldn't church be just that?
- Non-Traditional: This ain't your grandma's church!
- Focused on Children: Calvary KidZone allows children to learn on their level.
- A church where people far from God become Christians
- A church where people who are Christians can grow closer to God
- A church that is developing servant-leaders for now and the next generation
