Our annual celebration of the freedom we have in our great country and the ultimate freedom found in living a life for Jesus. Come and enjoy this special service with us!

Our Student Choir recently returned from singing and serving on an incredible trip to Nashville, Tennessee!

Throughout the trip, students partnered with several ministries that are making a difference in their communities. They served alongside organizations such as The Bridge Ministry, Outreach, Cottage Cove, and Knox Area Rescue Ministries. They learned firsthand about efforts to care for those experiencing homelessness, supporting struggling families, investing in children and youth, and providing hope through the love of Christ. Along the way, our choir had opportunities to encourage others through music, singing at some of these ministries in addition to other places.

One of the highlights of the week was serving at Rescue Mission, where students witnessed a ministry dedicated to helping people who are hungry, hurting, and homeless find restoration through a Christ-centered approach. Each ministry stop provided a unique opportunity for our students to serve and see how God is working through local churches and organizations to meet practical needs while sharing the hope of the gospel.

Students also enjoyed exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame, cheering on the Nashville Sounds, whitewater rafting in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, spending a day at Dollywood, and wrapping up the adventure with dinner and a show at Dolly Parton’s Stampede.

We are incredibly proud of the way our students represented Christ, our church, and their families throughout the trip. As they continue growing in their faith and serving others, we invite you to pray that God would deepen their walk with Him, strengthen their hearts for ministry, and continue using them to impact others for His glory.

Christmas is a season filled with lights, music, and celebration, but at its heart is a message the world still desperately needs: Hope has come, and His name is Jesus.

This December, Calvary Baptist Church invites you and your family to experience the story of Jesus’ birth through a brand-new presentation called A Night of Hope.

The wonder of Christmas will come to life before your very eyes through an original experience featuring dramatic storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and custom music, each written and produced specifically for Calvary. A live orchestra, stunning scenery, and a cast and crew of more than 400 people will help portray the journey to Bethlehem and the manger, highlighted by our beloved Living Nativity—including elements like majestic kings, camels, and flying angels!

For 90 unforgettable minutes, the story that changed the world will come alive on stage, reminding us that the birth of Jesus brought hope for every person in every generation.

A Night of Hope will take place December 17–20, and we would love for you to be part of it. We are now looking for volunteers to help bring this presentation to life. If you are interested, please scan the code or visit our website to view serving opportunities and sign up.

Calvary Serves at the Food Bank
Saturday, April 25 :: 10:00am - Noon
Calvary volunteers join up with the Food Bank in their mission to alleviate hunger in Central Louisiana by packing boxes to distribute to needy families.

Our middle school students (grades 6–8) recently had the opportunity to serve at Mission Arlington in Texas, and what they accomplished was incredible.

Mission Arlington is a faith-based nonprofit that serves people in need by providing free help like food, clothing, financial assistance, and spiritual support to meet physical and spiritual needs in the community.

Our students worked hard behind the scenes preparing for an Easter outreach by loading and unloading trucks, setting up hundreds of chairs, organizing supplies, and helping prepare over 90,000 eggsfor kids to hunt. They also installed fencing for the family activities with hands-on, physically demanding work.

Beyond the preparation, students built meaningful connections in a local apartment community. They went door to door, spent time with children, and shared the Gospel, often overcoming language barriers with joy and care. Even through long days and exhaustion, they chose to serve with enthusiasm and compassion.

This kind of impact is only possible because of a church that supports and invests in the next generation. From leaders to volunteers to those who prayed and gave, it took all of us to make this trip happen.

We’re incredibly proud of these students, not just for what they did, but for how they live out their faith.

Senior Adults - Our very first Missions Month project day was on March 19 where we assembled Evangelism Eggs to hand out in the community prior to Easter. We had a GREAT turnout of more than 40 seniors who drank coffee, fellowshipped, and put together 250 egg gift bags. Inside each egg is a scroll that tells the real story of Easter “in an eggshell,” small trinkets that go with the story, and an invitation to our Easter services. We prayed over the eggs for direction as they are handed out in the community and that they may touch the lives of those who receive them.

Bible Drill is so much more than just learning the books of the Bible. It’s a discipleship program for children and youth (grades 4 to 12) designed to help them memorize Scripture, learn the books of the Bible, and quickly locate key passages. Participants build Bible skills through games and drills, typically competing at the church, district, and state levels, all to encourage a deeper familiarity with God’s Word.

Our church is represented at the children, middle school, and high school levels. On March 22, almost all of our students advanced to the district drill, where they competed for spots in the upcoming state drill on April 18, hosted right here at Calvary. Congratulations to our team of 29 students, and thanks to our amazing volunteers for their leadership!

Jesus is risen!

The Women’s Retreat, held March 13–15, was an opportunity for women to step away from the distractions of everyday life and spend intentional time with the Lord and with one another. Centered on the theme “My Story, His Glory,” the weekend focused on how God works through every season of our lives and uses us to proclaim His glory to our world.

Throughout the retreat, women explored the lives of several women in the Bible and saw how God worked through their stories. These moments served as reminders that God is also at work in our own lives, shaping our experiences and redeeming our struggles for His purposes. Women were encouraged to reflect on their personal journeys and consider how God has moved in their lives. They were challenged to share their stories as a testimony of His grace and transforming power.

The retreat also included worship through meaningful small group discussions, times of singing together, and even a fun craft activity. Most importantly, it was a time for many to lay down burdens and surrender control to the Lord, experiencing the freedom that comes from trusting Him fully.

A total of 72 women attended the retreat, including 46 participants, making it a refreshing and encouraging weekend as women grew closer to God and to one another, leaving reminded that every story can point to His glory.
