Calvary Temple built on being 'inclusive'

"The Lord is

inclusive," says the Rev. Stan Littleton, Calvary

Temple Assembly of God, "rather than exclusive. And

for that reason, no person should be excluded from our

church, or any church."

The church was established

in April 1992 with the Rev. Don and Lorene Barron as the

founders. Its 50 members met at Booth Middle School for

three years before moving into its present site on

Robinson Road. Barron and members physically built much

of the sanctuary themselves.

The church is a place for

worship, learning, enrichment, friendship and a place for

service, carrying out the words of Jesus Christ,

"not to be ministered unto, but to minister."

There is a ladies morning

Bible study Tuesday mornings, there is a youth ministry

Tuesday evenings, family night activities are on

Wednesday evenings and include Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts

and adult Bible studies; other ministries include rest

home ministries and prison ministries.

The church has a

three-phase master plan. The first phase was the current

sanctuary, phase two will be a family life center,

expected to take place about three years from now, and

phase three will be a new sanctuary.

The pastor is the Rev. Stan

Littleton, who has been with the church since March 1997.

He was born and reared in

Birmingham, Ala. and was converted at the age of 17. A

year later he felt a definite call into the ministry and

entered Southeastern College in Lakeland, Fla. He

graduated in 1982 with a degree in ministerial studies.

After pastoring for four years, he entered the

Springfield Seminary in Missouri. Littleton pastored a

church in Missouri for eight years while completing

seminary. He has served churches in Missouri, Alabama,

Florida and Georgia.

He met his wife, Darlene,

while in college (she is the daughter of a United

Methodist minister), and they are the parents of

Nicholas, who attends McIntosh High School, and Sabrina,

who attends Trinity Christian School in Sharpsburg.

The church is at 202

Robinson Road, just off Ga. Highway 54 east, Peachtree

City; Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m., morning worship is

at 10:45 a.m. and the evening service is at 6 p.m. There

is a special KIDS Club service for youngsters at 10:45

a.m.

The church can be reached

at 770-486-8887.
