Frank Griffith has been the Pastor Teacher at Calvary since it was formed in December 1997. He has been married to Judy for over 45 years and they have three children and 12 grandchildren. Frank received his formal training at Talbot Theological Seminary, Golden Gate Theological Seminary, New College Berkeley and Westminster Theological Seminary. He holds a Masters Degree from Talbot in New Testament Exegesis. But his primary and most important training for ministry has come through life in the world and the local Church and his family where he has learned that "Christ is All." The most important courses of study have been the hard knocks of real life where the gospel has been tested and found to be true and powerful ("Cheer up, you're worse than you think and God's grace is far greater than you have ever imagined" Jack Miller). He has taught Theology, Bible Exposition, Biblical Languages and Christian Living at Grace School of Theology since 1975 and Theology Proper at The Cornerstone Seminary since 2004. Frank's passion is the preaching of the gospel of the glory of Christ.

The Bible is God's revelation of Himself and His personal word to His people. It is without error and contains all we need to know for life and godliness (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

God created man in His own image and placed Him as head over His creation. But mankind has been alienated from God since Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden.

What is so important about going to church? Most church services are held when many people are enjoying other things like golf, football, yard work, a trip to the beach or just washing the car. And after all few people really believe that going to church will solve all your problems or make you happy or even get you to heaven when you die. We certainly don't believe that attending church will do all that.

One of the pastors or members of Calvary would gladly meet with you to help you investigate the claims of Christ or you may join one of the small group Bible studies that meet at various times and in different locations in our community.

The chief objective of Calvary Community Church will be to pursue the glory of the Triune God (I Cor. 10:13; Eph. 1:3-14). In recognition of this purpose, we will endeavor to conduct our lives and services in joyful worship and fellowship of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Like many movements, the Reformation birthed certain slogans or rallying cries. These have come to be known as the "Solas" or the "Onlys" of the Reformation. Many of these Sola's are common parlance amongst Evangelicals today, but few really know what they mean. Following is a brief description of these slogans--may God grant His church today the desire to have Only these passions.
