Calvary’s statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Calvary’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, please note that our final interpretive authority is the Holy Bible in meaning and application.
