About Us

Our History

Calvary Baptist Church held its first worship service in April of 1978. Three families felt led of the Lord to begin an independent, evangelistic, Baptist church to reach the Dover/ York area for Jesus Christ. Calvary Baptist Church of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, served as our “mother church,” helping with financial and prayer support until our church was self-supporting.
