ABOUT US

Who we are

Calvary International Church is a church where English speaking people gather to worship God, study the Bible, pray, fellowship and serve Him, so we can mature in Christ and scatter to evangelize and disciple others. Our church is located  in a pleasant neighborhood called  Campo Belo, near the Ibirapuera Shopping Center. 

Our Early Sevice begins at 8:30 AM and our Second Worship Service begins at 11:00 AM. At both services regular attendees and visitors gather to worship God through music, prayer, and Bible exposition. Just prior to the message the younger children are invited to a separate children’s service.

Calvary is part of the International Baptist Convention. Read more about IBC at http://ibc-churches.org/. We are also involved with international church planting. You can know more about it visiting: www.internationalchurchplanting.com/

Our Deacons

What we believe

The Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God; existing in three persons; that these are equal to every divine perfection; and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

God the Father
We believe in God, the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers and that He eternally saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal visible return to earth.

The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

Regeneration
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

The church
We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world. We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.

Christian conduct
We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well being of his fellow men; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions, and that he should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.

Ordinances
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that those two ordinances should be observed and administrated until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Religious liberty
We believe that every human being has direct relations with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that this church is independent and will always seek to be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore church and state must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.

The Last Things
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, the eternal felicity of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.
