Our Vision

Calvary Lutheran Church in Federal WayCalvary will be a faith community - full of enthusiastic and diverse people - trained to meet a changing culture, by

  • believing that Jesus is for all,
  • practicing our faith: supporting each other, learning together, and sharing intimate and authentic relationships,
  • expecting to serve the community and world,
  • doing the unique work of telling others that God saves by his grace, through faith in Jesus Christ.

Our Mission

Calvary Lutheran exists to


* Invite you into life in Christ,


* Inspire you for a deep faith relationship,


* Equip you to use your gifts in service,


* Engage you in ministry.
 


Our Guiding PrinciplesWorship at Calvary

Everyone is God’s child and is welcome here. Jesus makes no distinctions between people; neither do we.

Our focus is on the one Lord, Jesus. Jesus calls us to follow him. We strive to be faithful to that call in all we do as a congregation.

God saves by grace through faith. Forgiving sins, putting things right, and promising eternal life are God’s work, not ours. We don’t have to do anything because, in Jesus, God has done it all.

Jesus brings us to the Father and each other. Because of Jesus, we don’t need to fear God but we are free to love God. We love one another as God has loved us.

Jesus calls us to love, serve, share the good news, and enjoy life together.
Every day marks a new life in Christ. Jesus sends us into each day to be his servants and ambassadors with our hearts full of gratitude and joy.

A Note from Pastor LoriRev. Lori A. Cornell


Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:

This upcoming Lent could hold the most important Lenten experience you will ever be involved in: Important for your prayer life, important for the faith community as we seek to grow together, important for all the people out there who don’t know the good news that God loves this world and them!

What can you do to get involved?

  • First, ask God to guide your actions, and speak to your deepest needs, in this Lenten experience.

  • Second, sign up for a small group today.

  • Third, pick up Unbinding Your Heart and read the first chapter before your first small group meeting.

  • Fourth, carve out some time in your schedule for intentional conversation with God.

  • Fifth, commit to be in weekly worship with the rest of us every Sunday of Lent—everything that happens in worship will be connected to what you are reading and discussing.



Why do it? Because all of us need to dust off our faith on an ongoing basis. All of us need an experience that will jar us and reconnect us to the faith community. Most importantly, all of us need to grow in our relationship to God, each other, and the world—and that doesn’t happen without action and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Cornell
