Church Planting
Calvary Baptist has a great love for and respect of the Great Commission. As one of the churches of Jesus Christ, it is our privilege and duty to evangelize near and far.
The LORD Jesus has moved in our hearts to not only support men who travel to distant lands, but also to reach out to towns right near us. To do this, Calvary Baptist travels to other towns as a whole church, to hold services there.
When we started Coalfields Baptist Church in Collie, the whole church took our Sunday afternoon service to that town. We traveled out there and held our afternoon service, inviting the townsfolk to come on in to the CWA Hall that we rented. We reasoned that taking this service to another town gave us two separate locations on the LORD's Day that we were holding services in. In time, we were able to establish a local, visible, independent Baptist church, birthed from our efforts.
Although the lost are not commanded to attend church services, we pray and trust that they will come in and see Jesus Christ in our midst when we hold a service in their town. When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he spoke of unbelievers coming into church services and experiencing the presence of God ... falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth (1Corinthians 14:25).
In 2022, Coalfields Baptist was commissioned and our work in Collie was finished. Towns need churches with a pastor to lead them.
But our passion for establishing new churches has not diminished. We have reached out to the town of Harvey, holding afternoon services there. Currently, we are reaching out to the town of Donnybrook on a Sunday afternoon. Our plan is to see people saved, a church established and a man called of God to step up and become the pastor of that new church.
Please pray for our efforts, that Jesus Christ receives the Honour & Glory He so deserves in saving souls and building His churches.
