Calvary Church Naperville

In our fifth week of loving our church, we'll look at how the church was created to be life-giving. God’s people were designed to be a people of impact in a broken, hurt, lost and dying world. Pastor Michael Grove walks us through how the church can always be life-giving and what are some real-life applications to help us live out a life-giving life.

Everyone has a specific and purposeful role in the church that God designed just for us!

In our second week of loving our church, we'll look at how the Holy Spirit empowers the church to make a difference in the world.
