Todd & Steph Griffen
“We love the Bible based teachings at Calvary, the five values, and how they shape life at Calvary. We feel blessed by the community here and have chosen to become members as our commitment to this particular body of believers.”
Charles & Eleanor Ho
“Having moved to Lancaster from a wonderful church we loved, we struggled to find a church here that met our needs… We learned that being part of a good ABF is key in becoming known here. The accurate theology, the great preaching, the solid emphasis on global outreach, and the wonderful music were all things we had been looking for, and we’re grateful that God led us to this church.”
AJ & Lindsey Lafferty
“We chose Calvary Church because there are so many ways for everyone in our family to connect with the body of Christ—whether through an ABF or serving in the many ministries Calvary offers. It’s easy to plug in, making a huge church feel like a family. We especially love the kids ministry and how intentional they are with curriculum and in discipling our kids.”
Rick & Ann Musser
“I became a member of Calvary Church as a visible commitment to God and His people to live according to His Word, allowing me to grow in my faith through deeper connection with fellow believers, accountability, and opportunities for service and spiritual growth.” – Ann
“I have been a regular attender for several years and have been volunteering in Facilities one day per week for the last 1½ years. Volunteering gives me the opportunity to give back to the Lord and the church for the many spiritual blessings that have been bestowed on me. The fellowship I have experienced with the people I work with grew into a strong desire to become a member of the church family.” – Rick
Tim & Carolyn Reiste
“We chose to join Calvary Church because of the firm and deliberate foundation that the church has in biblical Scripture. We want to raise our children in a church that is firmly rooted in the Bible and only the Bible.”
Marielin Rottkamp
“I chose to become a member of Calvary Church because, from the very first visit to Koinonia (ABF), I felt a sense of belonging and a desire to learn more about God’s Word. Being part of Calvary allows me to grow in my faith and build lasting relationships.”
Richard Schlosser
“I was initially invited to an ABF and felt very welcome. I found their approach to Bible study to be just what I needed. I subsequently joined a men’s Wednesday night Bible study. These classes changed my approach to studying the Bible. I look forward to growing and serving at Calvary Church.”
Andrew & Lydia Slater
“We chose to become members of Calvary because of the community of believers in similar stages of life, the great children’s ministry, and biblical preaching. Calvary has helped us to grow spiritually and worship Jesus every day.”
Peter Taschner
“I chose Calvary Church because they believe as I do that the Bible is inerrant, infallible, and inspired by God and that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross provides the only way of salvation for sinners like me.”
Fernando Torres Usechi & Nidya Giseth Cifuentes Reyes
“Una verdadera formación espiritual fomentada en la palabra de Dios que complementamos con los ministerios especializados en nuestro idioma y cultura.”
A true spiritual formation fostered by the Word of God, complemented by specialized ministries in our language and culture.
Joel Velazquez Cruz & Luz N. Pagan Otero
“I chose Calvary Church because I was looking for a church that followed the biblical principles I had learned in my home church where I grew up and also supported global missions.” – Joel
“Calvary is like an oasis where, every time you attend a service, your faith gets strengthened. Getting along with our brothers and sisters feels like a family. Calvary is a great blessing in all ways for our family and definitely encourages others to visit and become a part of the Calvary family.” – Luz
