You can also sign up for waiting lists of special focus small groups. Once there is enough interest, and a leader is recruited, we'll set up another round of that small group. Feel free to sign up for as many as interest you! Contact Adam Lim for any questions.
Volunteers Needed for Tech and Hospitality
We are particularly in need of volunteers for AV/sound, security and elevator operating. If you are interested, please register at calvarybaptistchurch.ca/serve!
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.
Interested in Getting Baptized?
You can sign up for baptism or for more information at calvarybaptistchurch.ca/baptism.
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.
