BELIEFS

Calvary is a church that is part of the reformed tradition. Though “reformed tradition” in Protestantism can mean a variety of things, it is a general identifier for a tradition that was born out of the ideas and writings of the great reformers, including Martin Luther and John Calvin. From there, other giants of the faith helped form this tradition: Jonathan Edwards, John Owens, Abraham Kuiper, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Herman Bavinck to name a few. There are many different aspects of the reformed tradition and it fits no easy categorization. Generally speaking, the reformed tradition is marked by a conviction in the authority of the Bible and belief in the unity of the scriptures—Old and New Testament—concerning the story of redemption, belief in the “priesthood of believers” (each believer has access to God without an intermediary), a belief in the sufficiency of Jesus in salvation and deep hope in the sovereignty of God. If these make up the boundaries of a map that define the reformed tradition, then what follows are the gems we have found as a church on that map. These gems have helped form who we are and help us know what it means to be a Christian community. These five gems of the reformed tradition are: 1) An utter allegiance, adoration and confidence in the person, work and activity of Jesus. 2) A commitment to and obedience of the Bible as the final authority in all issues pertaining to life and godliness. 3) A commitment to the Three Forms of Unity and the Creeds. 4) A belief, yearning and seeking for Communion with God. 5) A commitment to discipleship. These five gems of the reformed faith are not just tenets of belief at Calvary, they make up the core of our identity. They reveal the essence of who we are.
