Next Steps
Next Steps is a series of five 1-hour sessions that will allow you to learn more about the vision & values of Calvary Temple of Allentown. It will also allow us to learn more about you, your gifts, and ultimately, how we can partner together to make disciples who make disciples. The sessions begin July 2nd at 12:15 pm and continues every other Sunday until August 6th. Sign up for your Next Steps today!
Our Salvation
God is pretty adamant about salvation. In this step, we discuss what it is, how it is achieved, and the difference between salvation and membership.
Our History
In this step, we discuss from our humble beginnings of the prayer band of twelve with Pastor Edwin Conrad as pastor to our current pastor, Pastor Ray Ricketts, as well as our ups and downs and previous locations. In essence, where we’ve been and where we’re headed.
Our Strategy
What is Our Strategy? T4T!
In our effort to make discipleship a way of life at Calvary Temple we found and love Training for Trainers (T4T)! This wonderful discipleship tool gives us structure as we go about fulfilling our mission statement of making disciples who make disciples until Christ returns.
Our Structure
In this step, attendees are introduced to our membership covenant, the spiritual gifts test, and our kingdom service teams.
Our Salvation
Again, since salvation is key to being a disciple and a discipler, we end with the first lesson of T4T which is the Assurance of Salvation.
In this lesson based on Matthew 28:19-20, attendees learn to write their testimony and make a list of those with whom they have contact so they can begin sharing.
