Specialties
Our vision for the future of Calvary Baptist Church is to see God at work in our local community. We desire to reach our neighbors through bridge events and evangelistic outreaches. We anticipate that each member will grow in their walk with the Lord and in turn, reach others in their communities with the gospel of Christ. As we look ahead to the future, we are asking the Lord to lead us into ministries that will challenge us in our walk with the Lord, reach the unsaved, and minister in our community. We invite you to join us and be a part of what God is doing here at Calvary, in the city of San Francisco, and around the world.
