For more than a hundred years, men, women, and children have given their time, talents, energy, and resources to ensure the ongoing ministry of Calvary Community Church  - and countless souls have been won through those who have ministered here. 

In 2021, we will celebrate our centennial, remembering that our heritage and our hope is Jesus.
