We are a community of faith gathering onsite and online, growing in groups and ministering the good news to our city in a creative, caring, and credible way. We are a family church that is a multicultural, intergenerational, and young in spirit centre of hope. We are a place where every member can be a minister and every person is welcome. We are a church where Jesus is the center of everything we do.
We are a church where those who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances in the building of our local community of faith can have confidence in church leadership. Leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect their lives.
We are guided by Pastors. Our pastoral team and ministry directors oversee the day-to-day ministry and operations of the church. The staff pastors serve our church family and are responsible for the development of the spiritual life of the church. Our Calvary Church pastoral team is: Pastor Steven MacDonald (Lead Pastor), Pastor Vince McLaren (Calvary Care), Pastor Susan MacDonald (Calvary Research + Creative), Pastor Heather Roman (Calvary Worship + Admin), and Pastor Maggie Wang (Calvary Mandarin). Our Calvary Church ministry directors are: Tessa Polman (Calvary Kids) and Wyatt Harivel (Calvary Students).
We are protected by Directors. Our directors are members of our congregation who oversee the finances and direct the provision of the facilities needed by the church. As the Lead Pastor, they also provide me with wise counsel regarding the major financial commitments of the church. Our Calvary board of directors is: Steven MacDonald (President | Chairman), James Hansen (Treasurer), Justin Willie (Secretary), Mathew Joseph, Curt Roman, Augusta Babs-Ishola, Rachel Peters and Blake Dunn.
With such a gifted and passionate team of pastors, directors, staff and volunteers, our future is bright. New families and individuals continue becoming a part of our mission to love God and love people while leading them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. His story transformed our lives, and we invite you to become a part of the story He continues to write. The best chapters are still to come!
Loving God. Loving People. Loving Life.
God's best,
Pastors Steven + Susan MacDonald
