Whether you're ready to lend a hand or find yourself in need of one, this page is for you. Below, you’ll find opportunities to serve in various ministries as well as ways to request help—like prayer, meals, grief counseling, or practical support. 

Calvary Chapel Care Ministry is made up of pastors, staff, and trained care team members who walk alongside individuals and families facing life’s challenges—grief, illness, financial hardship, loneliness, or spiritual crisis. We offer support with compassion and the love of Christ, extending care throughout our church body and into our community.

Church is family, and family shows up for one another. We believe caring for each other is not just kind—it’s biblical: “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

Take a look around, and let’s walk this journey together.

We also welcome financial gifts—just $20 provides a care hygiene bag, and $100 can supply 10 meals to someone in need. Every gift makes a real difference in someone’s life. 

Help us care for our homeless neighbors in Isla Vista by assembling a Bag of Love. Each bag should be a gallon-size Ziploc bag and include the following items:

✅ Small bottle of water
✅ Toothbrush & toothpaste
✅ First aid kit or a few band-aids
✅ Granola bars (2–3)
✅ Can of hearty soup with a flip-top lid
✅ Pair of new socks
✅ Scripture card
✅ Small devotional book
➕ Optional: Chapstick or small lotion

We also ask that you commit to pray for the person who will receive your bag—asking God to meet their needs, draw them near, and remind them they are not forgotten.

Return completed bags to Heather at the church office or drop them off at the Connect Table on Sundays. Thank you for being part of this outreach! Your kindness goes a long way—thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
