Calvary Lutheran Church

About this church

Calvary Lutheran Church in Allendale, New Jersey, gathers for in-person worship every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at 165 W. Crescent Avenue. The congregation is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Services follow a pattern of gathering, word, meal, and sending, and the style is described as casual and liturgical: relaxed in manner, but with a traditional flow. On the first Sunday of each month, worship includes communion followed by a coffee hour, and people from any denomination are invited to receive. The last Sunday of the month is an informal worship service.

Children are encouraged to attend with their families, and families with young ones are invited to sit near the front so kids can see what is happening. Sunday School for ages 4 through fifth grade meets at 10:30 a.m. on most Sundays during the school year. Visitors can wear whatever they are comfortable worshiping in, from a suit to jeans. Services are also live-streamed on the church's Facebook page for those who cannot attend in person. A music ministry led by the church's music director is part of congregational life. Seasonal events have included a fall festival and craft fair, a benefit concert, youth and young adult outings, and a book discussion with a potluck. A monthly newsletter lists current happenings. Confirm times and events on the website before visiting.
