The God-ordained purpose of Calvary is to bring glory to God through Jesus Christ by worshipping Him, loving each other through Him, and reaching out to the lost with Him. We believe to know and love God through Jesus Christ is the greatest joy and purpose of life.

The mission of Calvary is to lead every person possible into a growing relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Great Love for God - We believe that our love for God is to be evident in every aspect of our lives.

Love for Others - We believe that we are to follow Christ’s example of selfless love for others.

Authority of Scripture - We believe in the commands to teach and to follow the Bible for guidance in every aspect of our lives and for wisdom to know God, relying on the Holy Spirit to provide direction, wisdom and strength for all that we do.

Authentic Community - We believe in meeting together in real community through small groups for encouragement and accountability. We believe in developing discipling relationships where we are strengthened and strengthen others in our walk with Christ.

Investing in the Lost - We believe in investing our lives in the lost around us to see them grow to know Jesus Christ. We believe that God calls us to reach the lost in our community and around the world.

Relevant Environments - We believe in meeting people where they are and drawing them into a growing relationship with God through all aspects of our services, meetings, and events.

Calvary Baptist Church in Canyon, TX began as a mission outreach of First Baptist Church to Latin-American residents in west Canyon. The church started in a boxcar where a missionary lived and worked prior to 1949. The first chapel was built in 1950 at 605 4th Avenue, organized as church July 6, 1952. Men of the church built an education wing and parsonage. The current building at 800 8th Street was built in October 1965, where our community continues to meet today.

Calvary Baptist has a continuing mission to reach unchurched people.
