Lamb of God - Basilica of Cosmas and Damien

Lamb of God depicted over the four rivers of creation. This is a popular motif emphasizing Christ as the advent of a new creation. The Basilica is the oldest church in the Roman Forum, and is an example of Christian appropriation of pagan temples. The basilica hall was attached to a round temple that has been identified as the Temple of Jupiter Stator, which has been dated to the 3rd century BC.

Revelation of Christ as the Lamb of God

Today’s gospel opens with further reflection on Jesus’ baptism. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the one anointed by the Spirit. In the liturgy we come and see Christ revealed among us in word and meal. We go forth to invite others to come and worship the Holy One and to receive the gifts of grace and peace made known among us.

Consider Joining Us

We would love for you to join our church family. 

You can reach out to us by email to officeadmin@clconcord.org  for more information about joining our congregation.

Our church Mission Statement includes a goal of 'Growing in Compassionate Relationships', in which we strive to make everyone feel welcomed, supported, spiritually fed, and encouraged to serve.

Please come join us in this quest!

We welcomed new members in November

Starting soon (January 2026), Calvary is starting a new project called “The Giving Pantry.”

We want everyone at Calvary to help fill bags with food that hungry neighbors in Cabarrus County can use.

Here’s what you can do:

1.  Starting this Sunday, grab an empty bag at church.

2.  Fill the bag with things like canned chicken or tuna, soup, veggies, oatmeal, granola bars, fruit cups, etc. (We estimate that a filled bag costs about $32 at Aldi.) Please choose cans with pop-tops if they are available.

3.  Bring the filled bags back to church by January 18.

If you’d rather give money, that’s great too—we’ll buy the food for you.

Jesus said when we feed hungry people, it’s like we’re feeding Him. By filling these bags, we get to share God’s love in a real way.
Growing in Faith - Sunday Mornings at 9:45am in the fellowship hall.

Come join us as we begin a new video study on January 25th: The Last Supper - Conversations that Led to the Cross
Travel with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in this profound Lenten six-week study that explores the parables and stories Jesus told at tables along the way to his final meal. Will Willimon invites viewers to experience how these table stories--about searching shepherds, welcoming hosts, prodigal sons, and rejected invitations--illuminate the deeper meaning of the Last Supper and Christ's sacrifice. All are welcome!

Discipleship Class - The Discipleship Group will be starting a new study on Sunday, January 18th at 5pm in the parlor. All are welcome!

The Discipleship group will be studying The Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. This book is a probing, insightful, and witty look at the ways that Christian nationalists misconstrue the Biblical teachings of Jesus and how to take the Bible back.
