The Church
The Calvary Memorial Church had its beginning in the early 1900’s in a small chapel on Lindermann Avenue. In the Fall of 1915, a series of evangelistic meetings led to the formation of the congregation, then known as the Gospel Tabernacle. From the outset, the church has been an independent, non-denominational church, consistently emphasizing the sufficiency of the Bible as the Word of God; the need for believers in Jesus Christ to grow in their faith; to fellowship and worship together; and to share the Gospel with others.
