Vision for C.E.R.T.
A practical way to be "Others Centered", that blesses the Body of Christ by caring for the needs
of our brothers and sisters.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:8-10)
CARING: To take care of; look after; provide for (Acts 27:3, 1 Corinthians 12:25)
EMERGENCY: Immediate action (Titus 3:13-14)
RESPONSE: Answer; reply (Psalms 102:2, 143:1)
TEAM: A group of people serving together in unity (Psalms 100:3)
C.E.R.T. is for anyone who has made Calvary Chapel Saint Paul their home and has a need. It is our belief that the Church is here for the people, NOT the people for the church. It is our Pastor's vision and desire to love, nourish, care for, feed, and encourage our Body; for we are the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27).
Our goal is to care for God's people by seeking out the needs of our Body and meeting those needs, so that no one would leave with an unmet need and this Body would be the best loved, well-fed congregation.

"By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth..." -1 John 3:16-18
