At Mount Calvary, we preach hospitality and act upon the Gospel. We proclaim God’s generous and perpetual love for all people and call everyone to serve God and neighbor throughout the world.
BTB101 is back this spring!
The highly popular Be the Bridge 101: Foundational Principles Every White Bridge-Builder Needs to Understand discussion from Fall 2020 is back beginning April 11 for a second thought provoking and deeply transformative series.
A deeply scriptural and faith-based study, BTB101 provides a background for conversations related to racial divisions and injustices by inviting us all into a time of listening, self-reflection and growth. Reconciliation and transformation are at the core of what disciples of Jesus seek and value and racial reconciliation is more than a peripheral issue for the Church.
Mount Calvary’s mission has long included listening to and respecting all voices, faiths and perspectives intent on building up God’s people. Gospel teachings of reconciliation and transformation will lead us into times of self-reflection and learning about assumptions, attitudes and realities that have been barriers to full reconciliation in our society.
Running independently of our Spring Crosspaths study, BTB101 Spring 2021 allows flexibility for small groups to meet at a prearranged time on Thursday evenings at 7:00pm or at a time of their choosing. Video recordings and discussion questions are shared via email at the beginning of each week and can be viewed any time prior to the small group gathering to support focused reflection on the readings.
Please direct questions or small group requests to heidi.busch@mountcalvary.org.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13
