By independent, we mean that the group of believers known collectively as Calvary Baptist Church are unaffiliated with any hierarchical control from another organization such as a conference, convention, diocese, or denominational headquarters. We believe that was the pattern in the New Testament:
As an independent congregation, the control of the properties rests within our congregation. Also, the ministry that we believe the Lord would have us accomplish here in our community rests with us. Independent does not mean that we will not associate with other churches or agencies that are biblically faithful.
