We welcome all who worship with us each Sunday. May you know God’s presence and find inspiration for devotion and service. All music is used by permission CCLI –1800777/One License #A-716927.
Please register your attendance in the friendship folders located on the chairs in the inside aisle or on the table in the narthex. Children are always welcome in worship. However, there is a nursery on the garden level for those who would enjoy some special attention from our care providers, Ruth and Alison Lewis.
Gardening Hour! We will meet every Wednesday morning from 10:00– 11:30 am for fellowship, prayer and time in the garden. This group is not just for those who wish to get their hands dirty but also those who seek to simply rest in God’s garden. In other words, even if your back hurts and your knees talk to you . . . there’s a place for you to join the Calvary Garden Group. Questions? Tisa can be reached for conversation at 303-756-5042 or via email at: lroberts@stu.iliff.edu.
In the Community ·

Building Community ·
Calvary offers a variety of activities that build community in different ways. We intentionally work to provide a lot of opportunities and venues in which one may "get – and stay – involved" with the congregation, our community and the broader world of the church. We are actively focused on nurturing meaningful worship, on doing mission, on ministering to our community, and on teaching our faith. We welcome all who would like to join in empowering our community to be faithful disciples and obedient servants.
Mission & Outreach ·
Calvary is committed to and supports a number of mission projects in the local community and around the world. Our church is a giving church: Calvary has had the highest per capita giving record in Denver Presbytery for some years now. We are very proud of that. We support a missionary in Nepal and have supported a Peace Corps volunteer in Lesotho, and have sent a mission team to New Orleans. We build Habitat for Humanity houses and contribute to Neighborly Thrift Store. And on first Sundays we give food to the Covenant Cupboard. Our members are involved in a wide variety of community services, including the Denver Dumb Friends League, Crop Walk, Brookshire House, Toys-for-Tots, the Heifer Project, Engineers without Borders, the League of Women Voters, and other service programs.
Special Events ·
Calvary always enjoys an occasion to celebrate our life together in Christ. We have regular pot-luck dinners, breakfast celebrations, work days, and a fellowship time with delicious treats following worship. We enjoy each other. We welcome you to share your time and talents with us to help make our church a more vibrant congregation.

Education ·
We believe that through education we learn to love God with our minds, and so we offer ongoing educational programs at Calvary, with opportunities for study for both adults and children on Sunday mornings after worship. There are always choices in our adult classes, as we try to respond to different needs and interests. Our pastor regularly teaches a daytime Bible study classes, as well as leading Advent study sessions and a Lenten series. We love our children. We offer them opportunities to learn the faith through the rotation model of education. They cook, do art projects, work on the computer, sing, memorize Scripture, do drama and play as they explore God’s covenant with us.
Music ·
We have an active music ministry that offers praise to God through instrumental and vocal music. We always welcome new voices in our adult choir, which practices on Wednesday evenings at 7:15, and in our small but enthusiastic children’s choir, which performs regularly in special worship services during the year. We are inspiringly led by Dean Stalnaker, our music director. Our beautiful organ and grand piano fill the sanctuary with glorious sound.
Small Groups ·
We believe that the Spirit moves in forming compassionate community. Here at Calvary we have an active small group ministry with a variety of interest groups forming regularly. Currently we have a cooking group, a movie group, our Saturday morning men’s breakfast, the Thursday crafters guild, and a Mariners and spiritual growth group. We are always open to ideas for a new group activity. Do you have one?
