Calvary Church is a community of faithful people seeking to be formed in the image of Christ through worship, study, fellowship, and service.  We seek to become better Disciples of Christ, to bring others into Christ’s gracious presence, and to make a difference in the world.  

 

 


Calvary Episcopal Church is a congregation of the American Episcopal Church, which is part of the Body of Christ throughout the world, the holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. "Episcopal" means "having bishops." Just as the early Church had "overseers," (epi-scopoi) we have bishops who provide for spiritual leadership, direction, and oversight.

We live our life together under the doctrine, discipline, and worship of an ancient tradition of Christians, and we are related to the Church of England.

Our worship is liturgical, that is, it follows ancient forms, involving the whole congregation but using modern language. Consisting of scripture, hymns, sermon, prayer, and celebration of the Holy Eucharist (also called Holy Communion, the Lord's Supper, or the Mass), our worship involves everyone. And, that is what "liturgy" means: the work of the people.

We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, a judicatory division (like a synod, presbytery or conference) headed by a bishop who lives in Asheville.
