As we embark on this journey together as pastor and people my desire is for you to understand the vision the Lord has given me concerning Holy Mount Calvary. A great work was begun over 60 years ago with the inception of this group of believers. We have soldiered through many hard days and crawled through some low valleys. However, we have also been blessed to celebrate many victories with the Lord’s help!

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Peter 2:9

We are KINGDOM PEOPLE who have been called to be set apart. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure the following initiatives are present in every aspect of ministry of the Lord’s church:

• Worship God (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit)
• Study the Word of God.
• Grow as Christians and enjoy Christian fellowship through prayer and participation in groups for study, and fellowship.
• Provide congregational care through all the transitions of life, from the cradle to life eternal.
• Use our God-given talents in Christian service to those who are hurting or are in need.
• Share the gospel with others, especially seeking out those who are not churched.
• Seek to be a living example of Christ’s teachings.

In our endeavors to do the Lord’s work, remember our Church’s Covenant, and The Ordinances of our Faith. Let these words continuously compel you to seek the greater good of the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission is the instruction of the resurrected Jesus Christ to His disciples to spread the gospel to all the nations of the world. The Great Commission is outlined in Matthew 28:16–20, where on a mountain in Galilee Jesus calls on his followers to make disciples of and baptize all nations in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

In conclusion, the next generation are among us NOW! Our youth, young adults, and vested adults need the training of our elders to ensure that Holy Mt. Calvary has an enriched, and tenured legacy within the community of Los Angeles, with outreach stretching far beyond our brick-and-mortar foundation. Our vision is not complete until everyone has heard the gospel message. This is the word of the Lord concerning us.

In His grip,

Pastor Franchesca L. White
