Welcome to Calvary. Our mission is to "Connect People to Christ and Community." When a community of ordinary people come together to worship an extraordinary God, we find acceptance, peace, and hope. Although we have diverse backgrounds and life experiences, we are connected by a common love for Jesus. Together, through Christ, we are drawn together and launched out to a broken world. The connections we make at Calvary are transformative—you and me, together, in Christ.

OUR PASSION is that the local church would be a place where we can bring all our hurts, habits, and hang-ups to the healing power of Jesus. We are all broken by the effects of sin, none of us are as perfect as we want to be, but we believe there is HOPE for anyone who seeks Christ. Our deepest conviction is that Jesus will take us as we are, but not leave us as we are- He is a God who transforms! Our joy is that all may come to know God’s transforming love, healing and hope through a personal relationship with Christ. You will be able to view upcoming events, give, read the bible, and more!
