Calvary Church Family,

In addition to our weekly Calvary Groups and our live Sunday broadcasts for Calvary Church Online, the Provincial Health Officer instituted a revised variance on March 29th that allows us to also gather in-person onsite in limited numbers in an outside format while maintaining physical distancing guidelines and mandatory masking. Space is limited, so please REGISTER early to secure your spot. 

As always, our Calvary Church Online host team will be live in the chat and available to say hello or pray for you in our virtual foyer 15 min before and after our services at 9AM + 10:30AM. We're also happy to announce that onsite indoor in-person Calvary Kids and Student Programs have resumed as of April 4th as well. Registration is also required for all of these events. Full event details are always available here on our website, or feel free to call the church office at 604.583.5551 for more info.
