Events

Gatherings & traditions

There's almost always something happening at Calvary. Here's what fills our calendar throughout the year.

Life at Calvary

More than a Sunday morning

We share meals, serve our neighbors, and mark the seasons together. Here are a few of the traditions that make Calvary feel like home.

Children of the church filling Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes at the altar

Serving together

From shoeboxes for kids overseas to steak dinners for our neighbors — everyone has a part to play.

Fall

Operation Christmas Child

Our whole church — kids included — fills shoeboxes with gifts for children around the world.

Spring & Fall

Baked Steak Dinners

A Grand Rapids favorite. Neighbors pack the fellowship hall for a home-cooked meal that supports the church.

Christmas Bazaar

A silent auction, bake sale, lunch, and dinner to kick off the Christmas season together.

A service honoring the firefighters, medics, and officers who look after our community.
