Leadership

Calvary Baptist Church began as a small group of people who believed in the inerrancy of the Bible and in the sufficiency of the cross of Jesus Christ. This group began meeting in their homes to pray, study their bibles, and seek the Lords direction. Sensing a need for a solid Bible teaching church in Byesville – Calvary was launched on June 16th 1946.
