Volunteers  welcome!

Our Community Outreach Breakfast is the LAST Sunday of each month. Sign-up to serve using the link below or at the Connect Table. Volunteers arrive at 6:15AM for a brief time of prayer, devotion, and breakfast prep. We begin serving our guests at 7:30AM. There are many ways in which you can help serve: welcome/greet guests, write name tags, cook, plate food, pass out Jehovah Jireh bags, lead a worship song, pray with our guests, and more!  

If you're new to Calvary, our Community Outreach Breakfast serves breakfast to the vulnerable in our community on the last Sunday of each month. We share a time of worship, devotion, and prayer. We seek to not only provide for their physical needs, but to share the Gospel with them.
