History

Click image to view larger In March of 1976, while still in Bible College, Roger Baker became pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. The church was meeting in a store-front building at the time. As God blessed, the church purchased property and relocated. In 1982 the church founded Calvary Christian School. Pastor Baker has always been a firm believer in Christian education. His burden to begin a Bible College where men could train for the gospel ministry grew. He founded the college in 1988, recognizing a need for a fundamental Baptist preacher's school where men, called of God to preach, could train to be servants of God. The church, the Christian school and the college have been blessed of God over the years. In 2001 the church purchased property and built a new church facility investing over three million dollars, which is now utilized by the college also. The church has grown to over 800 in average Sunday morning attendance. The church provides an excellent place for men training for the ministry to get practical experience. They are able to see how ministry is done with God's blessing.
