Get Connected
If you're new to Calvary, we'd love to have a chance to know you. Below is some basic information about our weekly gatherings, as well as some ways to get in contact with us.
What to Expect
Our main service takes place every Sunday morning at 10:45 and wraps up around noon. The service consists primarily of worship music and Bible preaching. Prior to our main service, at 9:30am, we have a Bible Study (Sunday School) for adults. During this time we dig deeper into God's Word and learn how to apply it to our lives.
Since we are a pretty small group we don't currently have any official programs for kids and teens. However, child care is always available for young children. People wear a wide variety of dress, so you can wear whatever you are comfortable with. During or main service we collect an offering. However, if you're a guest, you certainly are not expected to give.
