Calvary

Who We Are

We believe God is still speaking today. Calvary is a community that listens for God’s voice in new and fresh ways, staying open to His creative movement in our world. We prepare believers to serve in today’s church and embrace all people, ideas, and expressions of faith.

Where We Come From

Calvary was founded in 1970 by Reverend Wharton Nicholson at 1627 Broadway, Brooklyn, New York. What began with 32 people has grown through God’s grace—relocating to 151 Woodruff Avenue in 1978 and later to our current home at 58 Caton Place in 1993.

Where You Are

No matter where you are in life, you matter to God. We’re here to help you take your next step—whether that’s growing in faith, serving, giving, or connecting with a loving community that walks beside you.

How It Starts

It starts with you. Together, we’re committed to sharing God’s love locally and globally—bringing hope, healing, and restoration to a world in need.
