Chapel of the Doves





Mission:

Love alone for Jesus Christ is the motivation behind our missionary thrust and answering that commission He gave in Matthew 28:18-20 is at the heart of Chapel of the Doves. God’s order in Mark 10:13-16 excites us and moves us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the next generation. Whether its across the streets or across the islands – our desire is to bring the good news to those who have not heard through the children. We believe that the only true basis of Christianity is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.



Vision:

Every child should know the love of Christ through His word, hence, the entire Bible will be taught to the child. We want each child to be ministered to in a a manner that allows for them to enter into the presence of Jesus Christ. To that end, there are classes for all ages (3 levels). the curriculum we teach progresses through selective books of the Bible. Praise and worship songs, memory verses, Bible stories, crafts and games are used to instill joy in the knowledge of the scriptures. Praise reports and games are given by the children right after the praise and worship, then the study of the word. In short, Chapel of the Doves is actually a children’s church.

GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE

The Hospital Ministry is comprised of a group of 20+ church members who are eager to share the Word of God. Every Sunday at 2:00 pm the team gather at the small pavilion located just outside the local government hospital for a moment of prayer. Immediately, the members pair up and distribute themselves into the different wards and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the patients and their “bantays” (friends or family members who help look after the patients during their confinement in the hospital).

Group prayer before going to the hospital wards...

Without any frills or fanfare they ask permission to share the Word. While one partner speaks…the other prays and intercedes. Prayer is an absolute need, for without it, from the team’s experience the sharing becomes hollow and ineffective.

The response from the patients and their “bantays” is warm and positive. Being confronted with illness, pain and uncertainty about their future, hearing the Word of God is an assurance that Someone cares for them, that there is hope and that there are also people who understand and empathize with them.





There are times when the team meet great resistance, but through continuous prayer, they are emboldened to stand their ground and continue with their gentle sharing. Patients and their families who find themselves in a strange environment and who have no control over their situation bring about behavior and emotions that are far from normal. With the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Hospital Ministry Team enters each ward with great sensitivity to the needs of the patients and their respective families who are under great stress and trauma.


The Hospital Ministry is led by Dory Moncal . They meet every Sunday at 2 pm to do visitation at the local government hospital.

If you have a heart for sharing and ministering to those who are experiencing injury or illness please contact the church office at these numbers:

SYNOPSIS:

The name Bezalel (Hebrew בְּצַלְאֵל – “beZel El”, transcribed as Betzalel and most accurately as B’tzalel) is taken from the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, which means “in the shadow of God”. BEZALEL is the name of the chosen chief architect of the desert Tabernacle. In Exodus 31: 1- 6 the Lord said to Moses,

“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you…”

OUR CONVICTION

WE acknowledge that

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father
of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17)

WE acknowledge that

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1Peter 4:10)

WE acknowledge that

In Jesus, “we are chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him
who works out everything in conformity
with the purpose of His will …” (Ephesians 1:11)

ALL for the praise of His glory.

OUR MISSION:

In obedience to the Lord’s calling —

• WE offer ourselves as an extension of the Lord’s hand to do HIS will in assisting the church and its different ministries. We hope to be of help by providing the various ministries information, guidance, ideas and skills they may need to maximize the effectiveness of their creative and art projects;

• we would like to teach and to share to those who display an interest in gaining the knowledge and skills for creating art in its various forms;

• we will encourage one another to devote ourselves in reaching out – to help others discover and develop their gifts of the arts through the power of the Holy Spirit.

• WE commit ourselves to serve others as a privilege of the Lord’s calling, always dwelling “in the shadow of God” upon Whom all things are possible.

OUR VISION:

In prayer —

WE desire GRACE from the Lord that we may become a blessing to the church and its various ministries;

WE desire WISDOM from the Lord that our teaching others on the gifts HE has given will bear much fruit for the glory of HIS Kingdom;

WE desire HOPE from the Lord that others may see the fullness of their gifts through the power of the Holy Spirit and use them for HIS glory;

WE desire HUMILITY from the Lord that we may create works of art as an expression of the beauty of worship, proclaiming the glory of God;

WE desire ACCEPTANCE from the Lord that our service may be a fragrant offering sweet and pleasing to HIM;

ABOVE ALL, We desire MERCY from the Lord that we will remain faithful to our calling until HE returns.

VERSE:

Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you…” (Exodus 31: 1- 6)

A bunch of crazy, creative people got together at Calvary Chapel Dumaguete, Philippines to remember and celebrate the night “when God left the throne on high, when the balance of the world hung upon a helpless babe, when the journey to the cross began with a shrill cry.”

The Bezalel Circle Ministry got together to “worship the child we now call Emmanuel, Redeemer, Savior, Friend…”

We got together because “this child changed everything…
provided the way to salvation…
offered His life for ours.”

We got together to have fun and fellowship because “Christmas means God loves us…The great gift of Jesus was given to all and for all…”

That’s why we celebrated! that’s why we sang!

P Jo’s quite good looking, but it’s so hard to see
But we’re praisin’ Jesus right now! Bezalel…

Vision:

To be an extension ministry of the church committed to equip and challenge our young people to be living examples of the Great Commandment and Great Commission.

Mission Statement:

• Devoting ourselves to Christ
• Connecting our lives with the truth
• Building up and Serving one another
• Reaching out in Love

Purpose:

DEVOTING…We desire to know Jesus in a deep, personal way. Because we believe all that the Bible says about God’s love for us, we want to love Him back by worshiping Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

CONNECTING…We desire to stay strong in this new relationship with Jesus by studying His Word verse by verse. The Bible is God’s love letter to us and it teaches us how to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

BUILDING…We desire to build unity among the youth. Jesus said that people would know you are my disciples by your love for one another. God not only wants us to connect with Him, but also with our peers. We do this by giving special time for fellowship at all our gatherings.

SERVING….We desire to follow the example of Jesus…He did not come to this earth to be served but to serve and to give His life for others. God has given each of us a special gift/talent to serve others with and we desire to develop these gifts among the youth for the glory of God.

REACHING… We desire to tell the world of God’s great love. Jesus told us to go out and share the Good News. We do this by encouraging the youth to reach out to their friends, teaching them how to share their faith and giving them opportunities to minister through outreaches and missions trips.

Youth Camp 2008

COME, FOLLOW ME

“Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:6

VISION:

Jesus came and walked on this earth leaving us a shining example of absolute obedience to God the Father. Our desire is that the youth would understand the crucial truth that those who profess to be His followers and to abide with Him must walk with Him, following His pattern and example. Jesus lived a victorious life on earth and promised that if we accept His invitation to follow Him in obedience, we too will live victoriously!

PRAISE:

After more than 7 years of opening our youth camps to other Calvary Chapel churches, the Lord impressed on our hearts that this year needed to be different. Our youth group was going through a rebuilding stage and we felt strongly that the Lord was moving us to focus on the young people in our own church. We were excited to have a smaller group that would allow for the opportunity to break down barriers and build unity among our youth. That was our hearts desire and the Lord granted us that and so much more.

We learned to follow the footsteps of Jesus through 6 powerful sessions entitled:

• The Invitation
• Carry Your Cross
• Press On
• Saved to Serve
• Forgiveness, and
• Called to Love

We also enjoyed an exciting two-day Sports Fest and Relay Obstacle Course, sweet worship, interactive workshops and Purity sessions, bonfire fellowships, and so much more.

On the last day of camp, we were blessed and moved by the heartfelt testimonies of the youth who stood up to praise God for what He had showed them and to encourage each other to keep following Jesus no matter what! Every camp is an awesome experience with Lord and the youth go home on fire and excited.

But, after a few weeks or months the ‘experience’ can be pushed into the past by problems, pressures, friends, etc. That is why our camps are planned out to be more than just an experience with God but to be a life-changing encounter that would be a turning point in their lives.

We praise the Lord for the awesome work He did through this camp and we give Him all the glory and honor!
