Who We Are
Our beliefs are based on principles found in the Bible and
our purpose in life is to live them out every day.
Our church has a rich history
rooted in Anabaptist traditions. Established in 1952, it emerged from a small group of Mennonite families seeking a place for worship and community. Initially meeting in homes, the congregation grew and built their first church building in 1956. Throughout the decades, Calvary Mennonite has focused on promoting peace, simplicity, and service, in line with Mennonite values. The church has also been active in local outreach, fostering connections within the community. Today, Calvary Mennonite continues to be a welcoming place for worshipers in the Chambersburg area.
We Believe
1.We believe in one God eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2.We believe that God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, the inspired Word of God, and supremely in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
3.We believe that in the beginning God created all things by His Son. He made man in the divine image, with free will, moral character, and a spiritual nature.
4.We believe that man fell into sin, bringing depravity and death upon the race; that as sinner, man is self-centered and self-willed, unwilling and unable to break with sin.
5.We believe that there is one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who died to redeem us from sin and arose for our justification.
6.We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, a free gift bestowed by God on those who repent and believe.
