We understand that visiting a church
for the first time can be intimidating.
And so to help you get to know us...
We've included a snapshot about:
- what we believe
- what we value
- and a chance to meet our staff!
At our core we know that when we encounter Jesus, lives are changed, for eternity.
If you are around us long enough, you’ll hear us say our mission many times.
OUR MISSION
To be followers of Jesus,
who help more people
follow Jesus.
We highly value our ability to worship and hear the Word of God together, growing closer to God through relationships, and sharing this good news with our community.
TRUTHS WE LIVE BY
Read the rest of the Bible Fellowship Church's beliefs here!
The Bible is the Word of God, inspired and without error, and the final authority for faith and life.
God is the One true and living God, existing in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), who has created all things out of nothing and continues to sustain, provide, and rule all things to accomplish His purposes.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who added full humanity to His perfect deity, was born of a virgin, obeyed God perfectly, died for the sins of humanity, rose again, and ascended to the Father.
The Holy Spirit is equally God and came from the Father and Son to complete and perfect in us all the works Jesus began, convicting of sin, forming Christ-like character, and gifting us for ministry.
People are created in God's image, though that image is now marred because of Adam's sin which makes all people sinners by nature, alienated from God, and without an ability to reconcile themselves to God apart from the work of Christ.
Salvation is the gift of God provided by His grace and received by those who have faith in Jesus and His finished work on the Cross which satisfied God's wrath against their sins and provided eternal righteousness and life.
The Church, universally and locally, is a new people of God over which Christ has ultimate authority, is called together as Christ's followers to share the truth and love of Jesus with the world, and has been granted two practices (Baptism & Lord's Supper) to celebrate God's work.
Jesus Christ will return physically to establish His Kingdom, after which God will resurrect the dead for the final judgment of every person. Believers will enter into eternal joy in God's presence, and nonbelievers will enter into endless suffering in hell apart from Him.

MINISTRY FROM THE INSIDE OUT
MINISTRIES
A MISSION FOR PEOPLE, HERE & ABROAD
Loving others as ourselves starts with serving those who visit our church by providing care to those who need it. It then grows and extends out into the community, being a blessing in Coopersburg and throughout the world.
Calvary has only a few full time Pastors, but hundreds of us are school teachers, soccer coaches, food bank volunteers, mechanics, pilots, nurses, and business people who are living out their faith in everyday life. We’re caring for the elderly, teaching kids, serving in politics, visiting prisons, and speaking up for the least of these.
MINISTRIES
PRESCHOOL
Extending out to our community, our caring teachers illuminate joy that sets positive ripples of love, confidence, energy, and enthusiasm within the children and their learning.
Children ages 3-5 will experience a creative and developmentally appropriate learning environment, combined with Kindergarten readiness in a Christ-centered environment.
MINISTRIES
COMMUNITY FOR ALL
Inside our doors, there's something for everyone. We worship together, then we grow together!
Whether you are single or have a family, or are somewhere in the mix of that, Calvary is a place where you can belong. Our "family" ministries have a place for you to feel connected and grow.
GOD WANTS TO DO GREAT THINGS
THROUGH YOU!
