Around here, we're officially calling it SUMMER. Any time it's warm enough to swim, eat 3 Otter Pops per day, and almost get heat stroke while planting the garden...it's summer.
I love this shot - Sammy's dipping her little tooties with the assistance of Daddy...and Thomas can hardly contain his excitement in the background :-)
Ben and Clara wasted NO time jumping in and practicing their swimming. They're already talking about our annual 4th of July trip to Wisconsin!

At some point in time most people wonder what happens after this life is over. The world has it's ideas and opinions but only the Bible has the truth. At Calvary Baptist Church of Holden we believe in and uphold the Word of God above all else because His "word is truth." Whether you're a seasoned believer looking for a church or someone seeking to know Who God is for the very first time, we hope you'll contact or visit us. We have the answers you’re looking for and they’re in the Bible. Let us be of help to you.
Everyone experiences disappointments. Disappointments occur when our expectations don’t match the reality of living in a fallen world. Do we fight against reality or do we see the world clearly, agreeing with God about its fallen condition?
“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” Philippians 4:11
Contentment is something we all struggle with, even believers. We’re always seeking something better. A better place to live, better car, better job, better church, better situation. And it’s not necessarily wrong to desire better circumstances.
The Bible has a lot to say that applies to you! This 16-page booklet is designed to help you discover exactly what the Bible says about God, sin, Jesus, and salvation. Use it as a self-study tool or a great introductory study for a life-long relationship with God. Let us mail your free copy today.
God delivered the Israelites at the Red Sea and provided them with food and water in the wilderness.
New England is a Mission Field. Consider helping support us to establish a stronger Gospel presence in Central Massachusetts!
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, straightening up after church, being a helper in a class, to teaching God’s word. We want every member of Calvary Baptist Church to have their own ministry, and being good stewards of God’s house so others can know Him. Here are a few examples of how you can get involved. Of course, there are many more. Listen out for our next spiritual gift class and sign up to see what your gifts are.
We have many opportunities to help in our children’s ministry. There are classes from 3-11 years old. Sunday mornings and night we have nursery 0-2 years. Sunday night we have a 3-6 years old class, and Wednesday nights we have Awana 3-11 year olds. We encourage all parents to get involved and help in this ministry.
Calvary Baptist is thrilled to be part of the spread of God’s kingdom around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries financially and with our prayers. We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.
The Outreach Ministry is a ministry to help our church reach others. This ministry is vital to our church. They are a group of people that help with outings for our church and inviting people who otherwise might not come to church. We have a great time meeting new people and also fellowshipping with our church family. You can learn more about this ministry from Justin and Kayla Ply.
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music ministry. Some play their instruments, some are vocalists, and others are involved in the choir. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God. If you would like to join our choir, please see Jake Howell our choir director.
The usher team at our church fills an important role. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, guiding traffic, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, unlocking doors, locking doors, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free. The usher team is a servant-hearted group of men whose ministry is integral to church life. If you would like to help in this ministry see Chip Martin (Ushers) or Eddie & Lorrie Brown (Parking)
Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of this church. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes. All of our weekly sermons are uploaded to our podcast audio formats. We also maintain an active Facebook feeds for additional church communication.
Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Our Church is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Sunday, before Sunday School (9:30am), a team of volunteers is praying for the services of the week. Throughout the week, volunteers from our Prayer teams pray for their pastor, and church members on our prayer list. Please see Eddie Brown for our prayer Group on Sunday mornings and email your prayer requests to cbcprays@outlook.com to be added to our prayer list.
