Calvary Church

Calvary's annual Fathers Day in the Park event is Sunday, June 21 at Central Park in downtown Valpo! The worship service starts at 11a, but come early to get your chairs or blanket set up on the grass (it's BYOBlanket or BYOChair for this event)....

What a month we have had at Calvary! On May 6, I was in the water in all three worship services baptizing young and old as they declared their decision to follow Jesus. On Mother's Day, we welcomed nearly 40 babies into our church family, and we...

Our brand NEW mini-series "The Creed" starts this Sunday! The word "creed" comes from the Latin word creedo, which literally means, "we believe." We will be expounding the whole of Christian doctrine, and its relevance for our lives, in 4 short...
