My316life.com or EastCtDigitalChurch.com is a campus of Calvary Chapel in Eastern Connecticut. We are a fellowship of believers with a rich history of serving our community and world,  putting people in touch with God, turning people into followers of Jesus, and seeing lives changed, transformed and healed by the power of God.

As a fellowship of believers who have discovered the life transforming power of Jesus Christ, we gather and assemble (in-person and virtually) to read, learn the scriptures, offer prayers, belong to a fellowship larger than ourselves, as we grow and share in life together. At Calvary Chapel we go verse by verse, chapter by chapter through the Bible. The “316” comes from Jesus words in John 3:16 “Whosoever Believes in Me” We’re ‘Whosevers’ “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but inherit eternal life.” John 3:16 We’re here because God loves people and sent Jesus to rescue and save us.

Because Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (meaning those who do not have a personal relationship with God.)  We’re joining with Jesus to find those that have not experienced their reconnection to God (Jesus called this being ‘born-again’) and then once found to grow together as we study and explore the scriptures together. Click here if you are beginning to follow Jesus
