Discipleship
We believe in the
principal of the great
commission outlined in
Matthew 28:19: Go ye
therefore, and teach all
nations...
We aim to see people
saved, then established
in what they believe,
and then serving the
Lord to the uttermost.
We teach them about the
Word of God, what
happened to them at
Salvation, Eternal
Security, Baptism,
Prayer, Dealing with
Sin, the Will of God,
the Holy Spirit, the
Local Church, Giving,
Liberty in Christ,
Employer-Employee
Relationship, Christians
in the World, the
Judgment Seat of Christ,
the Lord's Supper,
Evangelism and Missions,
Discipleship and Bible
Prophecy. We aim to make
disciples that truly are
sold out for
Christ.

Soulwinning
Something to remember:
The Holy Spirit is the
one doing the soul
winning (1 Cor 12:3), we
are to be His willing
labours in the harvest
He has prepared. That is
why we have nothing to
fear when trying to
witness to a lost
person, because God does
it, not us (John 6:44).
Are you a willing
labourer?

Missions
Go ye into all the
world, and preach the
gospel to every
creature. Mark
16:15
Calvary Baptist Church
is a church that is
aggressive in doing all
they can do to fulfill
the great commission
from Sanford, Maine. We
believe the Bible
teaches that there is a
personal responsibility
to each local church to
get the gospel out.
Calvary Baptist Church
believes and practices
faith promise mission
giving. We know if God
can get the monies
through us He will give
the monies to us. The
monies that come in
through faith promise go
out to missionaries
around the world.
Currently Calvary
Baptist Church supports
ten missionary families
for $150 dollars a piece
per month. We praise God
for how our faith
promise has grown and
are looking forward to
the possibilities of it
increasing more and more
as our faith is
increased. Come be a
part of this young,
exciting, mission
hearted church that by
God's Grace is making a
difference in our area
for HIM!!

Master
Club
Master Club is a
program for the children
of our church as well as
the children of the
community. We meet every
Thursday night from 6:30
- 8:00 a.m. to sing,
learn Bible verses, play
games, and have fun. All
this centered around God
and His Word. This is
for ages 2-18. It is
great fun and our goal
is to accomplish the
following:
1.
To EVANGELIZE
CHILDREN by
helping church
leaders with the
ideas, promotional
tools, and effective
ways of reaching
children with the
gospel.
2. To DISCIPLE
CHILDREN includes
teaching leaders what
significant
discipleship is, how
to implement it in a
practical way, and
providing tools to
get it done.
3. To TEACH
CHILDREN God's
Holy Word, carefully,
both in lesson,
memory, and in life
style. Projects will
motivate children to
"live out" the truth
that is taught.
Leaders must role
model their teaching
and preaching.
4. To TRAIN
CHILDREN how to
serve the Lord, based
upon their
characteristics and
their capabilities.
The goal is to do now
what the child is
capable of doing, and
to instill into them
that the
opportunities abound
to serve the Lord in
some ministry role as
a lifetime
pursuit.
5. To PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES in
the church for
children to serve the
Lord in a very
meaningful way. To
teach and encourage
local leaders to
train the children to
function in some
ministry. To provide
multiple
opportunities that
would include all
those who are willing
to serve.

Aviation
"Reaching the
lost at any cost"
Evangelism - Encouraging
Laborers - Exalting
Christ
In 1994, God called our
family to a church
planting ministry in
Maine. We serve with
Maranatha Baptist
Mission, Inc. out of
Natchez, Mississippi. We
moved to East
Millinocket, Maine in
January 1996 and
established the Tri Town
Baptist Church. It was
there that this
ministry, Wings with
"The Word" was born.
Currently we are
starting the Calvary
Baptist Church in
Sanford, Maine and
continuing the
ministry.
God has given us the
vision and conviction
that aviation can be a
powerful tool in
evangelism and church
planting. The Wings with
"The Word" ministry
strives to serve three
purposes.
Our first concern is for
evangelism. We live and
serve in an area where
there are few laborers.
Many towns and villages
have no preacher. The
few fundamental servants
of God that are on these
fields need to be as
mobile as possible. The
Scripture declares that
we are to "redeem the
time because the days
are evil." Simply put, I
believe as a preacher, I
can reach out to more
people with the Gospel
of Christ if I can
redeem certain amounts
of time. This can be
accomplished with the
use of aviation. For the
present time we are very
much needed here at
Calvary Baptist Church.
In the future we hope to
be able to reach out to
new places where we can
begin the process of
soul winning,
discipleship, and
ultimately the planting
of a new church.
Secondly, we have a
burden to be an
encouragement to God's
servants laboring in
other parts of the New
England area. The
airplane will give us a
mobility that can make
this vision a reality.
Our daily prayer has
long been the prayer
request of our Lord as
it is found in Matthew
9:38. "Pray ye therefore
the Lord of Harvest that
he would send forth
laborers in to his
harvest." As we have
prayed this prayer, we
have seen God answer in
a very profound way.
This should not startle
us... that he would
answer. If our God
answers our prayer
requests, how much more
will he answer the
request of his own
Darling Son? A number of
laborers have been
called into the harvest
in Maine. I have a
burden to visit these
fellow laborers in the
place of their calling.
Church planters often
feel alone. While
visiting them, I will
seek to encourage them
in the work of God and
be a help. In a day
where so many are
critical, it is my
desire to be a
counselor, to be a
Barnabas, a "son of
consolation."
Thirdly, our vision is
to exalt Christ using
aviation as a tool to
serve the community. I
believe that aviation
can be used in
humanitarian projects to
open many doors of
opportunity to present
the Gospel. These
projects would mostly
involve flying
terminally ill people to
hospitals for needed
treatment. We will be
able to minister to
individual's physical
needs, but more
importantly, we will be
able to minister to them
spiritually through
sharing Christ. I
believe that using
aviation as Christ's
servants, we care for
them. Christ is exalted
when we serve
others.
Please pray for Wings
with "The Word" as we
seek to use aviation as
a tool for evangelism
and church planting,
encouraging the
laborers, and exalting
Christ, in the community
and surrounding
communities.

Bus
Calvary Baptist
Church has a bus
ministry to find boys
and girls, to bring them
to church, and to teach
them the scriptures. We
are ambassadors for
Christ, committed to
going out into the
neighborhoods for the
one purpose of seeing
families saved,
baptized, and added to
the church. We exist to
transform the families
we reach from bus
families to
church
families. We exist
to train others for the
work of the
ministry.

Youth
Group
Being a teenager
in this day and age can
be difficult. There is a
constant pressure to
fit in" and "be
cool. Our youth
group is a place where
you will find teenagers
with similar challenges,
desires, and feelings.
Our desire is to show
teenagers how to add
real meaning to their
lives through a personal
relationship with Jesus
Christ. We are not
offering boring,
lifeless religion, but
an exciting journey
through life with the
Lord Jesus Christ as the
Master Guide!
