This document outlines the journey and process for people to get connected and involved at Calvary Church. It begins with exploring Calvary to learn about life with God. New attendees are then invited to connect through introductory classes and life groups. The next step is to launch by completing the membership process and fully committing to life with God. People then partner within a life group community and serve both within the church and their own spheres of influence. The final stage is to engage and bring others into the community, both locally and globally, on the journey of life with God.
