Whether you are a regular attender or member of Calvary, we encourage you to use your spiritual gifts and serve in our various ministries! If you  know where you’d like to serve or inquire more, please sign up at www.calvarybaptistchurch.ca/serve. If you’re unsure where you would fit, please reach out to any of our pastors and/or elders, and they would be happy to help you explore what your gifts are. 

Interested in Getting Baptized?

We believe baptism is the most crucial first step of obedience for believers to take, as a way to publicly profess their faith in Jesus. You can sign up for baptism or inquire for more information at calvarybaptistchurch.ca/baptism.

Worship Database Playlist

Do you sometimes find yourself trying to learn the songs we sing at Calvary on the fly? Do you want to know them in advance? Or maybe you know most of them already, but you want to belt them out at small group, at home, in the car, on the bus, in the shower, or wherever? Or maybe you want to teach your kids these songs? We’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a Spotify playlist with our entire worship database. You can access it at calvarybaptistchurch.ca/worship.

Sermon Manuscripts

If English is your second language and having a copy of the sermon would help you understand better, please let us know, and we’ll get you a printed or soft copy of the sermon.
