I am pleased to announce that on April 4th, the congregation voted overwhelmingly to call Pastor Eric Sipe as our Sr. Pastor.

He has accepted the call and has begun the transition from Heritage Bible Church to CBC. We are hoping that Eric and Cindy will be here in place by the end of June.

Below is the text of the acceptance letter we received fromPastor Sipe:

My dear friends at Calvary,

Psalm 34:8 says, “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.” What a wonderful God we serve! Paul writes in Romans 11:33, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”  Truly God has been good to us!

Cindy and I want to thank every one of you for the kindness you have shown us in allowing us the privilege to minister the grace of God at Calvary Bible Church.  I gladly accept the call that you have extended to me. I am humbled that God has saved me and I stand in awe that He would count me worthy to fill the role of under-shepherd to you, His people.

It is our sincerest prayer that over the weeks ahead we all will submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit as He continues to change us and mold us into amore accurate picture of our Savior.  There is much work to do and God seeks to use people who are humble, and submissive to the Word.  There are many around us who need to know our Christ. He has given us the delightful opportunity and responsibility to be the proclaimers of the good news - that there is salvation in Christ alone! Let our lives and our lips speak these truths with grace.

Please pray for us as we begin the transition from our work here at Heritage Bible Church, that we will be faithful to do all that He has called us to do and to finish well.  Pray that our house will sell quickly and then in God’s perfect time, we will be able to begin our ministry there at Calvary. We look forward to working together for His glory.

Grace to you all,

Eric and Cindy Sipe
