Pastor Strachan loves the church, and even though Calvary has seen growth from a small group of believers to an average attendance of over six hundred, it has continued to maintain a close-knit family atmosphere with a passion for serving people. God has blessed His church with beautiful facilities on 23 acres of land and a vision for continued growth. Please come and visit any of our services; Pastor would love to meet you.
