And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell....But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison....from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

James 3:6,8,10

Ministry Focus

The Calvary Choir is an auditioned ensemble comprised of singers of high school age and above with a wide range of singing experiences and training. The choir season runs from mid-September through early May. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings and help lead the congregation in worship in 2-3 Sunday morning worship services per month. Additionally, the Calvary Choir participates in the annual Calvary Christmas concerts, the Worship Ministries Spring Concert and in other concerts here at Calvary and in the community as opportunities arise. The choir’s theme verse is Psalm 66:2: “Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.” (NASB).


Elder Focus

Bob Drenth and his wife, Donna, have three adult children and eight grandchildren. Bob started attending Calvary Bible Church in 1967 and was saved in 1968 through our college ministry. He has served in Choir, Handbells, and Prayer Corps, and as a Deacon, Treasurer, greeter, Financial Secretary, and Elder.
