About Us
Affiliation
ag_shield_2cCalvary Temple is affiliated with the Assemblies of God, comprised of more than 12,000 churches and 2.8 million people in the U.S., and an estimated 52.5 million individuals worldwide, making it one of the fastest-growing fellowships in the world. God continues to show great favor to and blessing on the Assemblies of God as this movement of people strives to fulfill the will and purpose of the Lord.

"Affiliation" means we are not controlled by a parent organization; rather, the Assemblies of God believes that the best leadership for a community is at the local level. We are owned, operated and controlled by the local membership here at Calvary Temple. This means...

 • We choose our own pastors and programs. • We own our own buildings and properties.
• Our affiliation allows us to network with other Christians around the world who are known for their commitment to Christ. We strongly feel there is a great benefit to networking with God's Church and other believers.
• Our affiliation allows us to participate in an extensive missionary organization made up of over 2,500 world missionaries and associates in 150 nations. In addition, the Assemblies of God has targeted the United States as a mission field, with 1,013 missionaries serving in areas as varied as cities, hospitals, college campuses, prisons, military bases, and Native American reservations. We are a church that desires to see the Good News of God's love shared around the world!
• The Assemblies of God holds their credentialed ministers accountable to lifestyles of integrity, sound doctrine and faithful stewardship, thereby safeguarding the Name of the Lord Jesus and the local ministry.
• Our affiliation allows Calvary Temple to embrace our distinct heritage, yet enjoins us to the body of Christ at large as we work with other churches to win this world for Jesus, fulfililng the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."
