Calvary is a teaching church. From Pre-kindergarten, to the Quilters and "Grumpy Old Men" (a volunteer Monday morning work crew), Calvary has something for everyone.
Since a portion of our membership is below the age of 18, Calvary has created youth programs to invite and encourage young people to get involved blending Christian unity with learning, serving, and fun.
