Outreach
Extending Our Faith Beyond Our Walls
At Calvary, outreach is more than a mission—it’s a calling. We believe in serving others, both near and far, through acts of compassion, generosity, and faith. Whether through hands-on service, financial support, or community partnerships, we seek to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing hope and help to those in need.
N.I.C.E. Center
(Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical) is a food and clothing pantry for those who can use extra support. Calvary is one of the six churches in the community who help to support this center as well as staff it on Saturdays. There are opportunities to directly be involved at the center in April and October for Calvary members. The other ways to be involved are to give financially or to bring dried goods for our collection bin at church.
Gideon’s International
We exist as an advocate for the lost, to bring them the saving knowledge of the Word through not only placing and distributing Scriptures, but also through personal witnessing and by associating together for service.
Rockford Rescue Mission
Rockford Rescue Mission shares hope and help in Jesus’ name to move people from homelessness and despair toward personal and spiritual wholeness.
Mission Aviation Fellowship
For over 75 years, Mission Aviation Fellowship has used aviation to share the love of Jesus Christ with isolated people who have not yet heard the good news of the Gospel. Calvary Lutheran Supports missionaries in Chad.
We Care Pregnancy Center
For those facing an unplanned pregnancy, We Care Pregnancy Center can help by providing confidential help at no cost, including free pregnancy tests, ultrasound confirmation, and answers to questions about parenting and adoption.
Samaritan’s Purse
After sharing the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus said “Go and do likewise.” That is the mission of Samaritan’s Purse—to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.
World Mission Prayer League
The World Mission Prayer League exists to see that populations with limited or no access to the Gospel experience the love of Christ and that believers and communities of believers in the Americas and elsewhere engage in active and collaborative participation in living out their roles in the great commission.
