Calvary Baptist Church of Denver

MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATION FOR OUTREACH

Purpose: To guide the Calvary congregation in awareness of, involvement in and support of God's mission of love. This group vocalizes God's call to meet human needs within our local and global community in the name of Christ.

GLOBAL MISSIONS
Calvary is committed to Global Mission work. It is the fifth largest contributor to United Mission giving in the denomination.

Missionary in Residence - Each fall Calvary brings a special guest from another culture. As that guest teaches, preaches and is a part of our community, our world vision is widened. We have had guests from Burma, Poland, Czech Republic and Palestine.

LOCAL MISSIONS
Calvary is involved in extensive mission work in the community.

The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a shelter program for homeless families. It is sponsored by 11 host congregations and 14 support congregations in the Denver metro area. (Visit the National Interfaith Hospitality Network Web Site.)

Project Angel Heart is a Meals on Wheels program for HIV positive and AIDS patients. In 2001 we delivered 2,600 meals, using 20 volunteers. (Visit the Project Angel Heart Web Site.)

Learning Partners is a tutoring program that matches church members with Denver Public School children who need special time and attention. The volunteers give an hour a week at a nearby school.

Habitat for Humanity. Calvary has built two Habitat for Humanity homes in partnership with families in the community who are striving to be independent and self-sufficient. Partnering with Saint Thomas More Church, our third project is underway and construction begins this summer. Hands, hearts and donations are needed to build a new home in Denver.
