Calvary Baptist Church

About this church

Calvary Baptist Church in Springfield gathers for Sunday worship at 9:30 a.m. with biblical preaching, music, prayer, praise, and adoration. Sunday School follows the service; the official site displays both 11:00 and 11:25 a.m. in different locations, so first-time visitors should confirm the exact class start. Nursery care for children from birth through preschool is available during worship and Sunday School, and volunteers are background checked. Classes also serve children and teens, with drop-in nights, camp, Vacation Bible School, and other youth events throughout the year.

Calvary’s Springfield history reaches to 1923, when Sunday School counted one hundred students and twenty teachers. The present church’s first prayer service was held in April 1925, followed by a week of dedication services that drew between 256 and 375 people. Later ministries included youth fellowship, a choir, nursery classes, and a family weekend begun in 1977. The church now supports American Baptist Home Mission Societies and describes its mission as connecting personal faith in Jesus with relevant biblical teaching and service to family, local community, and the wider world. Visitors can expect a morning service followed by age-based learning in a congregation whose current family ministries are closely documented alongside its local history.
