About Us

We offer forms, surveys, data, and presentations that enhance communication, strengthen involvement, and promote lasting growth within the Body of Christ.
Our Mission
is to inspire churches to engage, strengthen, and grow their congregation, by helping members align their unique gifts with the needs of the church and empowering them to serve with purpose.
Our Vision
is to empower churches to identify and hone their unique gifts through
dedicated training.
Once equipped, we aim to dispatch members from various congregations to address emerging needs, such as mobilizing intercessors from different regions to unite in prayer for specific causes. This collaborative effort ensures that the Church remains a strong, responsive, and purpose-driven community.
Shaped by Calvary
Being S.H.A.P.E.d at Calvary starts with offering ourselves to God, allowing Him to renew our minds and transform our lives.
To be shaped at Calvary means allowing the work of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross to transform your heart, character, and life.
At Calvary, where Jesus bore the sins of the world, believers are invited to surrender their old selves and be remade in His image.
This shaping involves humility, repentance, and a willingness to be molded by God's grace.
The SHAPE framework is inspired by the work of Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life, 2002) and Erik Rees (S.H.A.P.E.: Finding and Fulfilling Your Unique Purpose for Life, 2006)."
