About
Calvary
Calvary Church
is a vital,
evolving community of Christians, one of the largest Episcopal
congregations in New Jersey and the Diocese of Newark. Founded in
1854,
we seek to build a future equal
to our proud heritage by growing in personal discipleship, strengthening our parish’s institutions
and increasing our outreach to others.
Worship
The primary focus of our week is Sunday morning
worship, when we gather
as a community to praise God and to share in the Holy Eucharist. The
mid-week Eucharist at noonday celebrates the feasts and fasts of the
Anglican tradition. Directions
People at Calvary
Serving the Calvary Church community are the nine clergy and staff
who
lead and care for the parish, and the 15 members of the vestry who
oversee the use of our resources. We are also fortunate to have many who
give generously of their time and talents to serve our organizations.
Fellowship
Getting to know each other is one of the joys of Christian fellowship.
Our fellowship programs give us a chance to meet in small, informal
settings.
Christian Education
Our Christian education provides both Sunday
school for our young people and a variety of adult forums as part of our
commitment to help everyone grow in faith.
Service and Outreach
Service at Calvary can be to the church community or to the outside
community at large. Our service and outreach
programs provide many opportunities to be involved.
Music
An integral part of our worship, music is
provided by both adults and young people’s choirs. The Calvary
Chorale also performs sacred and secular music in concert.
