Calvary Monterey has truly been a blessing in my life and in the life of my children. From the moment you walk through the doors you can feel the love, warmth, and authenticity of this church community. It is a place where everyone is welcomed no matter where you are in your walk with God and services are currently running Sundays and Thursdays for those with complicated scheduling needs. You can also watch online, but won’t regret coming in person and making this your home church! The biblical teachings each Sunday are solid, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in scripture and always delivered with such conviction and even a sense of humor by Pastor Nate. Other pastors, have similar, sound teaching styles and bring variety and wisdom to the team. The messages are both theologically sound and incredibly relevant to everyday life; helping you grow spiritually while offering encouragement and hope. You leave feeling refreshed, challenged, and reminded of God’s goodness. What really sets Calvary Monterey apart is their heart for families and children. Children’s Ministry programs are engaging, safe, and centered on God’s Word; making it easy for parents to trust that their children are being nurtured and taught well. It’s clear how much intentional care goes into nurturing the next generation and I am so happy that I have found a place where I can confidently leave my children and know that they will be well taken care of. The sense of community here is amazing. The life groups are incredible and provide a space to build meaningful relationships, pray together, and walk through life side by side. This church doesn’t just feel like a place you attend on Sundays, it feels like a family you want to be a part of and who wants you to be present as well. Even “antisocial” folks like myself, find their place in the crowd. Calvary Monterey lives out its faith through action. Their support of The Bridge and other social justice efforts shows a genuine commitment towards serving others and loving the community beyond the church walls! It is inspiring to see faith put into practice in such a compassionate and tangible way. My favorite partnerships have been with Set Free Monterey Bay and Safe Families. Additionally, there are so many diverse events throughout the year that bring people together in fun and meaningful ways (festivities, Easter, Women’s Events, Youth Camp, and so much more). Whether it’s worship, fellowship, or outreach, there’s always something that helps you stay connected! If you’re looking for a church that is welcoming, Christ-centered, family-focused, and deeply committed to making Jesus famous, Calvary Monterey might be the church for you. Calvary Monterey is truly something special. 💛 Love that they are so involved with volunteering for foster related happening. The photos I uploaded was to honor the social workers in Monterey county. They had guest speaker Regina Louise. Amazing fellowship, friendly members, dedicated staff and volunteers. Very knowledgeable teachings and Podcasts. Accommodating rooms available for mothers and outstanding children daycare. Inspiring youth program. I’m so elated to be part of such a great Church. May Jesus continue to be famous with his unending love and grace! Luciana (LU) Nice facility and grounds. Good programs for children and organized offsite Bible groups. Strong pastoral staff. Unique and effective addiction recovery program. Calvary was the church that gave me my solid foundation. Founding pastor Bill Holdridge was tops in his biblical exposition. His son Nate is now also an excellent Bible teacher. I love going back each year for the women's events. They have a great women's ministry team!
