Featured Events

Our Sanctuary renovation project is now underway! 

On Sunday mornings, we are gathering for worship on the left side of the Sanctuary — the main floor and balconies are open as well as overflow space in the Calvary Life Center, Auditorium 1400.

You’ll notice temporary construction walls and drapes to protect the organ and tech equipment. The LED screens are in storage, but we have a temporary projection system is in place. Scaffolding and other equipment may be visible but will be safely out of the way on Sundays. Please do not enter the construction area!

Sit closer to your neighbors this summer and meet new friends! Let’s give special consideration to those using walkers/wheelchairs on the main floor — and no saving seats! The ushers will direct you to the balconies and to CLC 1400 when the main floor seating is full. 

Our livestream will continue at live.calvarychurch.com and Calvary Facebook as usual.

Thank you for your prayers and patience through the renovation. Our plans include paint, floor tile and carpet, refurbishing the pews, platform ADA access, baptistery renovation, and lighting upgrades. 

How exciting it will be to worship in our beautiful new Sanctuary this fall!

In partnership with area churches and the Salvation Army, Calvary will be providing meals and shelter for 10 homeless women from August 5–12 (Monday–Monday), offering a "place of hope" during a time of need.

Protecting the Heart of Your Child:
A Biblical Parenting Conference
Sunday, August 25  |  3:00 – 6:00 PM, Calvary Life Center

Families are constantly exposed to the world's perspective on gender, sexuality, and marriage. As parents and grandparents, what are we to believe? What and when are we to teach our kids? How do we protect the hearts of our children?

Calvary Family Ministry is committed to equipping parents by discussing the biblical view on these important topics. We're here to walk with you as you shepherd your kids through life's transitions as they grow up.

Conference sessions include:

• "The Biblical View of Gender, Sex, and Marriage"   
• "What to Say to Your Children and When"
• "Understanding Guys and Girls and How to Treat Them"
• "Parameters for Phones, Privacy, Peers, and Dating"

Within these main conference sessions, we’ll hold breakouts tailored for parents of sons/daughters at various ages. You’ll receive practical biblical insights, guidance, and resources!

Childcare to 5th grade is provided, though please note that space is limited.

Cost is $10/person or $15/couple if registered by August 1.
