STATEMENT OF FELLOWSHIP
STATEMENT OF FELLOWSHIP
Calvary Chapel Stroudsburg has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the Power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their overemphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ. Our beliefs are not founded on the creeds and traditions of man, but solely on the principles of the Word of God. We are committed to praying for revivial in the hearts of God's people, and for His grace to impact our communities for eternity. We desire to worship God in Spirit and Truth, and to make that worship a lifestyle that touches every area of our lives, spilling over into all our relationships, neighborhoods and surrounding communities.
Sanctuary Setting: Our services in the Sanctuary are designed for adults only. Our goal is to teach the Bible and to worship God in an atmosphere free of distractions where people can focus on the Lord. For this reason, only children age 12 or older are permitted in the sanctuary. Most people are distracted by others moving around during the services therefore we ask that you do your best to visit the restroom prior to the start of the service. Please turn off pagers and cell phones during service.
Children's Ministry: Our Sunday School is designed as a quality, age-appropriate Children's Ministry. We use a curriculum developed by the Answers in Genesis ministry. Each teacher spends time in study and prayer. The classes and activities reflect the love and care of the Lord. We provide a room for nursing moms in the nursery area, as well as an overflow room at the front entrance for those parents who cannot be separated from their children. Once service begins, only registered parents are allow in the care center. No child is dismissed without proper parent identification.
