Calvary Church, Arlington (Calvary United Methodist Church)

About this church

Calvary Church, a United Methodist congregation in Arlington, Massachusetts, gathers for Sunday worship at 10:30 AM from Labor Day through June, moving to 9:30 AM from July through Labor Day. Services take place in the sanctuary at 300 Massachusetts Avenue and are also broadcast on Zoom and Facebook Live. The service blends traditional and newer elements: a musical prelude, a welcome and poem, hymns, Scripture readings, a children's message, music from one of the church's groups, and a message from the pastor. Communion is usually offered on the first Sunday of each month, with grape juice and gluten-free bread available.

Children are part of the service from the start. Child care for ages three and under is offered in a classroom where the service is audible, and Junior Church for ages 3-10 runs during the school year after the children's message. A youth group for grades 6-12 meets on Sundays during the school year, and a confirmation group runs for interested youth. The church also lists fellowship and volunteer opportunities, music ministries, missions and outreach, and a summer mission trip. For visitors arriving by car, parking is available on Mass Ave (two-hour limit) and nearby streets, with an accessible space in front of the sanctuary. The church is also reachable by MBTA bus.
