FROM ONE
40 YEARS OF FAITHFULNESS
For 40 years, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale has lived one truth: when people say “yes” to God, He does extraordinary things.
What started as a small Bible study is now a thriving, multi-generational church shaped by worship, service, and God’s Word. Through every life changed, ministry launched, and campus planted, God’s faithfulness shines.
This isn’t just our history—it’s a testimony of what He can do through surrendered lives. Each salvation, baptism, and act of obedience reflects a heart choosing the eternal over the comfortable. This is discipleship in motion. It’s the Church living on mission, fueled by the Spirit, and anchored in His Word.

PRIMARY GOAL
100% ENGAGEMENT
This isn’t about a number—it’s about God’s calling. He’s inviting His people to listen, respond, and step into the story He’s writing through His Church. Across every generation, we ask: “What’s my part in His mission?”
Pray. Engage. Give. Say yes—because this moment matters, and you belong in it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are you asking me to do?
First, pray. This journey begins not with numbers, but with surrender. We’re inviting you to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and respond to His leading.
Ask Him: “What does generosity look like in this season of my life?” Then follow Him.
Whether this is your first step on Calvary’s Giving Pathway or your next one, we encourage you to talk with your spouse, your family, or your small group about what sacrificial, gospel-centered generosity could look like.
And finally, prepare to be amazed. We believe this next chapter will be full of stories only God can write, stories that will flow from one generation to the next.
How long is my commitment?
This campaign is a two-year discipleship journey that began with Calvary’s 40th anniversary celebration in early November and continues through November 2027.
What is a One Fund initiative?
In the past, giving may have been divided between a “general fund” and special campaigns. But this is different.
At Calvary, we believe it’s all one mission—to make disciples, reach the vulnerable, raise up the next generation, and go after the one. Every gift during this two-year initiative will go to that mission. It’s not about separate buckets; it’s about one unified call to follow Jesus with open hands and willing hearts.
Does this change my giving to the general fund, missions, and other special offerings?
No. Every dollar given during these two years will be part of the One Fund (Tithes & Offerings), which fuels everything we do—from Sunday services to outreach, from local discipleship to global mission.
If you’ve never given before, this is the moment to start. If you already give regularly, ask God what it means to grow in faith and give even more intentionally. If you feel called to give a one-time or occasional gift, do that, too. This is about joyful obedience, not pressure.
Can I give more than a monetary donation to the campaign?
Be creative as you explore ways you and your family will give towards From One Generation to the Next. You might have appreciated stocks, property, a business interest, or other items. Or you may have stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be calling you to give during this time.
If you’d like help facilitating a non-cash or planned gift, reach out to our Engagement Team: Engagement@CalvaryFTL.org or call us at 954-556-4499.
What if I don’t have a job right now?
We understand. God often calls us to trust Him deeply in seasons of lack, not just abundance. Generosity isn’t about how much you give—it’s about surrendering your whole heart to God.
If He stirs you to make a commitment even before you know how it will happen, trust Him. This may be your step of faith in the waiting. Our hope is 100% participation—because this is a spiritual journey, not a financial transaction.
Am I supposed to give if I’m in debt right now?
If you’re actively paying down debt, we commend you. That’s an important step in stewardship. We’re here to help. We offer resources and financial discipleship opportunities that can walk with you toward freedom and generosity.
At Calvary, we believe giving should be a priority, not an afterthought. But even more than that, we believe God wants something for you, not just from you. Let us know how we can support you: Engagement@CalvaryFTL.org.
What if I have never given to Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale or one of its campuses?
You’re exactly who this initiative was created for. From One Generation to the Next isn’t about catching up—it’s about stepping in.
This isn’t a traditional “capital campaign.” It’s a churchwide invitation to generosity—for everyone. If you’ve never given, this is your moment to begin—boldly, joyfully, and prayerfully.
What if I’m new here?
Welcome! You’re already part of the story God is writing here. This is more than an invitation to give; it’s an invitation to belong.
The local church is one of the most meaningful places to invest your life and legacy. If Calvary is becoming your home, this is your opportunity to plant roots and say, “I’m in.”
What if I have not been baptized yet?
Spiritual steps don’t always come in a straight line. Some people start giving before they get baptized. Others join a group before they pray for the first time. But here’s what we know: generosity draws us closer to God.
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
Whether you’ve been baptized or not, we invite you to take this step with us. Let it move your heart closer to Jesus—and toward whatever your next best step might be. See the next baptism here.
What if I still have a question?
We’d love to talk with you!
