Calvary Temple Church - Kerrville (TX)

5 /5 Dyan Nelson: We love the realness here! Relevant powerful sermons and worship! Many ways to serve the friendly caring ppl here! Many ministries including prayer meetings! Salvation invitations are given and seen as very important! Heartfelt pledge of allegiance is also done routinely! Pastor Del sent us a hand written note after our 1st visit and called us to be sure we made it back to AZ!!!

3 /5 Aem Maem: I met a wonderful person that goes to this church and invited me. So did some research and when I saw the following statements on the website my heart sank to my toes. How can a pastor help "lost" people when his mind is closed? Copied from website.... "Calvary shines the light of Jesus in order to show God’s love to the lost." "We believe that the 66 books of the Holy Bible are inspired by God, without error, and are the final authority on all matters of life." There are more than 66 books if the bible translated from Sanskrit of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Men decided to removed many of those books, also written by God. Hiding them away, deeming them unworthy of teaching to the "lost. I have read 4 of the hidden books. In the book of St. Thomas, for instance, Jesus tells his disciples "There is something inside of you that you do not know ...". It is our work, our duty, to know ourselves and it is our SALVATION to seek God out in everything and in everyone. To be forever curious and full of wonder. We are never "lost" because We Belong to God. Our Creator resides within each of us, knows us better than we know ourselves, and knows where we are in every way at all times. We are mistaken when we believe that our Creator is separate from ourselves.

2 /5 Nora Owens: Personally not the right church for me. This seems like a close knit church that supports one and other which is what we are called to do. I didn’t feel super welcome here but was my only time coming here. The pastor mentioned politics quite a bit and that caused me to leave early. I was very shocked when they prayed only for the nation of Israel and not Palestine. There is a horrific war going on in Israel and Palestine and both sides are in need of prayer and support and need God to bring peace to this conflict. Politics and nonsense aside the pastor had a decent message but was a bit tough to follow. Wouldn’t recommend if you like politics being separate from the church you attend.

3 /5 Brian Young: From what I see, the chuch patterns itself after all the popular TV ministries. Big bucks on backdrops, lots of di Calvary events, and as lo g as you show up Sunday. its "cool." Following God is a 7 days a week call. Why cant Churches be individualistic. Why copy what another church does. Its not the facilities or social events that are to be key. Its living for Jesus daily and saring to the lost. Its often stuff the offering plate to build "impressive facilities and big social events. Nothing is wrong with good facilities, but when big bucks spent on awing t h e members thru big lighted backdrops, that seems to often take over the priority. However, the pastor assures you that Jesus is the focus. To me, this renders a churc average at best. Trendy and modern, but not always quality actions in ministry.0
