Ministry Partners

The work that God has entrusted to His church is far greater than any one congregation could ever handle on its own. Therefore, Calvary is honored to partner with a variety of organizations – locally, nationally, and internationally – in order to expand our capacity for being a blessing to others. As a Baptist congregation, many of Calvary’s primary partners are the Baptist bodies that facilitate cooperative mission and ministry.

• Surry Baptist Association
• Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
• Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina
• Southern Baptist Convention
• Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

In addition to these Baptist connections, Calvary is pleased to partner with several local ministries that allow us to meet needs and promote wholeness among the people of our immediate community. These ministries include:
