“A Growing Place” Capital Appeal Is This Spring

Calvary is, and always has been,  ”a growing place” – a place where love is grown and faith is grown and difference-making ministries in lives and in the world are grown.   At times in our history, continuing to grow into the plans we believe God has called us toward also meant “growing” the size of our building and facilities.  Believing that we are at a crossroads kind of growing moment again at this time, we are launching a capital appeal to raise money for an expansion of our building and parking lot, and also some needed maintenance and upgrades to our roof, kitchen, and sanctuary sound system.

Want to know more?  Check out the following – and visit this page again during the appeal, as we’ll update it with additional information about our plans, and the process that we hope turns them into reality.
