Calvary Church was founded in 1948 with the dream of becoming a "Lighthouse for the Gospel" in Pacific Palisades and West Los Angeles. For 74 years God has been faithful, building strong foundations for future growth. They honor their legacy and lean into their future. Calvary is a growing, multi generational community with roots that go deep in the culture of Los Angeles. Their spiritual family is diverse, they are singles and families, young and old, creatives and corporate leaders who have found the grace of Jesus to be enough.
Calvary is an independent Church and does not belong to a denomination or fellowship of Churches. Through the radical generosity of God they have been blessed with an amazing, 8-acre campus with a 700 seat sanctuary. There are over 70,000 sq feet of classrooms, an athletic field, and a multi-purpose gym. The church is the home to Calvary Christian School, one of West LA’s premiere PS-8th grade schools and a vital ministry of Calvary Church.
Calvary is a Church that embraces a gathered and scattered rhythm of ministry. They gather weekly at 10am to encounter God in worship and receive teaching from His Word. They are seeking to be a church with a depth of theology that cannot be dismissed living with a power that cannot be denied.
Calvary’s growing network of Community Groups create a place for people to practice the way of Jesus in community. To further their discipleship vision Calvary also has vibrant men’s and women’s ministries where deeper spiritual formation is happening. They are actively engaged in serving their city through strategic partnerships and intentional outreach.
