CAMPUS PROJECTS
Join us in seeking God's direction & provision for Calvary's campus needs
Thank you to those who give so faithfully and generously to support the local and global ministries of Calvary Church. We appreciate your continued support and look forward with prayerful expectation to what God will do in and through our church family as a result of your giving.
Thank you to all who responded in generosity as we closed out our fiscal year on June 30, 2023. Below is a summary of our two main funds: General which enables the ministries that happen on our campus and Missions which goes out to further the work of the gospel here in Orange County and around the world.

As a result of your giving we were able to finish our General Ministry Fund right at the target budget. We also saved $117,000 in expenses over the course of the year, which will go toward replenishing our maintenance reserves and saving for the upcoming Air Conditioning Replacement Project. You can also make a donation directly to our Building Fund to help with this significant need.
Thank you also for your contributions to our Reach Missions Fund, reaching neighbors and nations with life-changing ministries and the good news of Jesus. The deficit was narrowed in the closing weeks of the fiscal year, finishing $63,000 behind target while also cutting expenses to save $12,000. Looking forward, we appreciate all those who responded during July and made a Faith Promise commitment. Your above and beyond giving to Missions in fiscal 2024 will help support each of our current missionary partners and send out new missionaries who are prayerfully preparing to go.
We echo the Apostle Paul who wrote to the Philippians, "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-6

The Bible has thousands of verses on giving but in summary, giving is a key element of spiritual formation and growth requiring two things of us: Faith & Faithfulness.
Faith: Giving is an active expression of our faith. Giving demonstrates that God is our Provider and shows our confidence in His ability to supply our every need. Further, it’s an act of gratitude and dependence upon Him.
"'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.'" Malachi 3:10
As we listen to God's voice and earnestly seek His will for our lives, His plan for giving will become obvious to each of us. In response, we can eagerly give, knowing that it pleases Him.
Through our gifts, we prove faithful in the stewardship of all God has provided us, while He blesses us beyond what we can possibly imagine.
Faithfulness: Giving requires the highest standard of personal integrity and discipline. It is not a casual or when we happen to remember thing. In 2 Corinthians 8-9 the Bible teaches we are to give willingly, generously, and cheerfully. Our pattern should reflect a regular and systematic plan. God instructs us through the Bible to begin with our tithe, which means contributing 10% of all we have to the Lord’s work.
Giving a tithe builds our trust as we learn to count on God to meet every need we will ever have. Giving also strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. Your financial contribution is an investment in God’s kingdom to see lives changed for Jesus Christ.
