What
is the New Believers Ministry all about at Calvary Chapel Upland?
We want to welcome new believers into the body of Christ and help
them to better understand the decision they just made to accept
Jesus into their hearts. We provide Bibles and other study material
to help them in their new walk with Christ as we encourage them
in the fundamentals of the Christian life which includes such topics
as: reading the Word of God, praying daily and attend a Bible-teaching,
Bible-believing church.
Follow-up is also done with the New Believer through telephone calls
to encourage them and making ourselves available to answer questions
and/or prayer requests that they may have.
When
does the New Believers Ministry meet?
We gather on a weekly basis on Sundays at 9 am and 11 am,
as well as on Wednesdays at 7 pm. |

What
is the Foundations of Our Faith Class all about at Calvary Chapel
Upland?
Using the passage from 1 Timothy 6:19, which states,
"storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time
to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life" the vision
of this ministry is that it will be greatly used by the Lord to
begin to develop a firm foundation for the new believer.
When
does the Foundations of Our Faith Class meet?
Classes are held quarterly teaching six foundational topics which
include: Salvation, Prayer, The Bible, The Church, Water Baptism,
Baptism with the Holy Spirit and Trials, which are geared toward
the new believer and yet, are timely for every believer no matter
how long you've been walking with the Lord. We gather at 4:30
on Sundays for a 6 weeks course at various times throughout the year.
For
contact information regarding the New Believers Ministry or the
Foundations of Our Faith Class at Calvary Chapel Upland please
feel free to

. . .with an ungodly man; you cannot force him to do what a renewed
man does most willingly; you may teach him, and set him a good example,
but he cannot learn the art of holiness, for he has no mind to it;
his nature leads him another way. When the Lord makes a new man
of him, then all things wear a different aspect. So great is this
change, that I once heard a convert say, “Either all the world
is changed, or else I am.” The new nature follows after right
as naturally as the old nature wanders after wrong. What a blessing
to receive such a nature! Only the Holy Ghost can give it.
Did it ever strike you what a wonderful thing it is for the Lord
to give a new heart and a right spirit to a man? You have seen a
lobster, perhaps, which has fought with another lobster, and lost
one of its claws, and a new claw has grown. That is a remarkable
thing; but it is a much more astounding fact that a man should have
a new heart given to him. This, indeed, is a miracle beyond the
powers of nature. There is a tree. If you cut off one of its limbs,
another one may grow in its place; but can you change the tree;
can you sweeten sour sap; can you make the thorn bear figs? You
can graft something better into it and that is the analogy which
nature gives us of the work of grace; but absolutely to change the
vital sap of the tree would be a miracle indeed. Such a prodigy
and mystery of power God works in all who believe in Jesus.
If you yield yourself up to His divine working, the Lord will alter
your nature; He will subdue the old nature, and breathe new life
into you.
All
of Grace - Charles H. Spurgeon |
