OUTREACH & Missions
Loving our neighbors. Reaching the world.
“We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.”
-1 Thessalonians 2:8

Our Core Mission: Called to Serve
We believe the Christian faith is fundamentally an outward-focused missionary movement. Our mission is driven by Jesus’s example—who "came not to be served but to serve" (Matt 20:28)—and his global command: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19).
We equip our church family to demonstrate the love of Jesus and share the truth of Jesus, focusing on opportunities to serve our local Cheltenham and greater Philadelphia communities, as well as participating in global missions around the world.

The Two-Fold Approach
- Sharing God’s Good News: The message of forgiveness and reconciliation through Jesus Christ.
- Sharing Our Lives: Using our time, resources, and abilities to genuinely love and serve people in need.

Calvary Food Pantry Ministry
Feeding our neighbors. Sharing God’s love.
Calvary Food Pantry is a place where neighbors help neighbors—offering food, hope, and the love of Jesus. We serve our community by providing shelf-stable groceries and a warm welcome to anyone in need.
CHOSEN 300
Serving the homeless. Sharing the love of Christ.
Calvary Church partners with Chosen 300 Ministries by preparing and serving meals to individuals experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia.
Our volunteers gather to cook, deliver, and share food—offering not just nourishment, but dignity, encouragement, and the love of Christ. Through this outreach, we join a citywide network of churches working together to bring hope and practical care to those in need
