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 twenty one missionary families. 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!!

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!
Senior Saints Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord. — Leviticus 19:32 Our Senior Saints meet once a month for a luncheon and fellowship. We plan to expand this ministry to include helping our Wings with "the Word" Evangelism team. This is a lovely ministry to be involved with.
Ladies Fellowship "The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness... that they may teach the young women..." The Ladies Christian Fellowship meets once a month. This is a time to teach, learn, fellowship, and share. It's our desire to see women who love the Lord supremely and desire to have homes that honor Christ.
