A Bible Teaching Church in Elkridge, Maryland

Are you looking for a Bible Teaching Church near Elkridge?  Do you live in or near Elkridge and are looking for a Church that teaches God’s Word?  Calvary Living Hope is for you. 

We are a church that loves the Bible, focuses on studying the Bible and believe that it is God’s Word for His people.

But we are also a church that loves people like the Bible says we should. You can and should do both.

So What do We Mean by Bible Teaching Church?

We teach the Bible. 

Sounds simple, right, but in today’s world, it is far from it. 

Some churches teach about living like a Christian.  Others teach about the concepts contained in the Bible.  These are not bad in themselves but at Calvary Living Hope, we do it differently. 

We teach the Bible. 

We go through the actual book line by line, verse by verse in context.  The reason we do this is simple.  We believe that God said it better than we ever could.  It is, therefore, more important to learn what He sets out for us in His Word than anything else. But it is not just about learning the Bible.

God’s Spirit encourages us and allows us to live out the things we learn in the Bible. He empowers us to live dedicated to Jesus.

Expository Bible Teaching near Elkridge

As a church when we gather on Sundays, we do not do sermon series devoted to one topic.  Rather, starting at verse one, we go through each of the New Testament books line by line studying the context and the meaning as originally set out by the writers. 

We then look at the lessons contained in the verse and apply them to each of our lives. 

This encourages each person who hears the message to a greater individual understanding of God’s Word.  It also equips us as believers to apply the lessons of the Gospel of Matthew or Philippians to our everyday lives.  Would we rather have words of encouragement from a person or from God Himself through the Apostle Paul?  The Bible is not a dead book.  It is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword.  There is nothing else like it.  With the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it changes lives at Calvary Living Hope on a weekly basis.

What Communities do We Serve?

Calvary Living Hope is made up of people who desire to serve wherever Jesus leads them.  We are made up of Christians from Elkridge and Catonsville to Baltimore City, Howard County, Anne Arundel County and Carroll County.  The church building is located where Elkridge, Halethorpe, and Catonsville meet and just a few miles from Baltimore and Columbia.  We serve those communities as well as equipping believers in their workplaces.  Our online ministries reach out across the world as well.

Our church fellowship activities do tend to center around Catonsville with annual Baptism, 4th of July Fellowship and holiday dinners often taking place in Catonsville.  But our church family is located across the area and we reach out and serve wherever we go.

So Why Attend Calvary Living Hope?

Calvary Living Hope has never been about geography.  We are about Jesus, the love of His Bible and the love for His people, the church. 

We believe that the highest goal in life is to be conformed to the image of our Lord and Savior.  We pursue this goal through learning God’s Word and encouraging each other communally.  God refers to those who are saved through the active work of the Holy Spirit as His family.  We are children of God.  We take this seriously at Calvary Living Hope.  We follow the model of church set out in Acts 2:42:

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

There are churches that offer more in the way of entertainment and programs.  Calvary Living Hope focuses, instead, on fulfilling this Biblical outline and helping believers grow in their walk with Jesus.  The Bible will be preached, a loving welcome offered and Jesus glorified at Calvary Catonsville.

Come and be fed!
