the why...
Our fourth core value at Calvary is that we make disciples, not just converts. One of the best ways we do this is through our discipleship Institute,
a three-year track of core classes, offered in both English and Spanish, designed to grow and equip your head, hands, and heart
as a mature disciple of Jesus.
