Outreach Partners
As followers of Christ, we are called to serve others. Calvary partners with organizations locally that love people well by meeting their needs, while sharing the gospel. We believe there is great Kingdom impact as we join our lives together and serve alongside others. We encourage you to find a partner organization that utilizes your gifts and passions and provides space for you to serve and live out God’s calling on your life.
As a non-profit, faith based organization CDC strives to educate, employ, and empower members of the community. CDC has open job postings and they are asking that we pray that God will provide equipped individuals to bless the community and share the goodness of God. They also ask for prayer specifically for single parents who are trying to balance home, work, and their child(ren)’s school.
