Expect to find imperfect people. None of us at Calvary “have it all together.” We are all struggling. We are all at different levels of growth in our walk with Christ. So don’t worry about having to “measure up” or “fit in.” We’re here to learn of God’s mercy and to grow in and through His sanctifying grace.
Expect to find meaningful worship and a practical Bible message. Our goal is to worship, not entertain. Our music blends the old and the new in a meaningfully way.

So come and join us and experience grace in action, and the hope that God offers through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Who We Are...
Calvary Baptist Church of Waterbury, Connecticut is a non-denominational, independent baptist church. We uphold the biblical doctrines of the faith, such as the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His vicarious atonement for our sins, His literal, physical resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, the inspiration, inerrancy and supreme authority of the Bible.
By the terms non-denominational and independent, we mean we do not belong to a denomination where there are bishops or elders presiding regionally or nationally over our local assembly. We are independent from any ecclesiastical control from outside the local assembly.
This does not mean we are isolated from all groups. We regularly worship with other assemblies of like faith and practice. Our local worship is reflective of a larger worship community, which includes other local churches, Christian schools, camps, mission agencies, Bible colleges and universities and pastors fellowships.
