New Members

We're excited to announce 50 people have committed to becoming members of Calvary Church! Membership is not only a formal agreement with the doctrine and direction of the church; it provides a spiritual family for you to belong to, gives a place for support and encouragement, places you under the spiritual protection of godly leaders, and gives you the accountability necessary for spiritual growth.

Below is a list of our new members, including a few highlighted sections where you can read why they decided to call Calvary their local church home. We are so thankful to God for those who have taken this next step as they continue to pursue life in Christ!

Julia Balmer
“Over the past two years, I have found a true sense of belonging at Calvary, where the Young Adults, Global Ministries, CSM leadership, and Marriage Builders communities have demonstrated intentional living and a dedication to helping one another grow in faith.”

 

 

Annie & Fred Buffone
“We originally were brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. As we approached our 40s, we felt something missing in our spiritual growth. It was then that we began attending a non-denominational, Bible-teaching church and learned what it means to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We moved to New Holland five years ago, attended several churches, and finally found Calvary and the pastors whose messages fulfilled our needs. As a bonus, the music is great!”

 

 

Robert & Sara Dascenzo
“We were always looking for a church of our own but never really found one that ‘fit.’ From the moment we walked through those doors the first time, we knew Calvary was ‘the one.’ You can feel God in every single room, and everyone is so kind!”

 

 

Don & Paula Isely
“My (Don) life was touched by the global ministry of Calvary Church in the late 40s through the ministry of Evelyn Bachman. After 50+ years of ministry, we retired in Lancaster. Because Calvary Church maintains the same passion for outreach and growth, we are grateful to pursue life together in Christ.”

 

Linda Lautsbaugh
“At Calvary I have found a church home where I am spiritually fed. The church's focus is on Scripture, the inspired Word of God. Through sermon book studies, Women's Bible Study, and [my] ABF, I have learned what the original writer intended and now what it means today, living what it says.”

Kathy & Scott Layman
“We have landed at Calvary after numerous invitations from our neighbors. We appreciate the emphasis on the consistent application of Scripture in our individual lives, as well as in how the Church relates to society.”

 

 

Jamie & Rachel Miller
“We have been attending since 2019 and decided to become members this year after experiencing the joy of fellowship and connection with others in our church body. Men’s and Women’s Bible Study, sound teaching over the pulpit, and various other ministries offered here at Calvary have made this church feel like home to our family, and we are so thankful for that!”

 

 

Catie & Drew Stief
“We chose to become members at Calvary Church because we were drawn to its vibrant young adult community, which provides a strong sense of connection and fellowship. Additionally, we resonate deeply with the church’s mission and its commitment to living out faith in meaningful ways.”

 

 

Kathy & Montie Watson
“We moved to Pennsylvania from Atlanta, Georgia, and are now empty-nesters. At this time in our lives, we wanted to focus on digging even deeper into the study of God's Word by finding a local church that offered biblically-based teachings with many opportunities to get involved. We feel Calvary's core beliefs not only align directly with our core beliefs, but the focus on understanding the Bible and living out the Word of God is exactly what we were seeking in a local church.”

 

 

Audrian & Zach Weaver
“Ultimately, we chose Calvary because of its community and vision for missions. While only being here for one year, Calvary has helped strengthen our marriage and provide a solid foundation for not only us but our kids as well.”
