"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
 Calvary Christian Church began its ministry in May 1994 after a merge of two well-established churches, Surrey Christian Centre and Calvary Community Church. Pastor Gordon McDonald and Pastor Harvey Schroeder joined together to provide spiritual leadership for their growing congregations. To respond to the rapid growth in the Fraser Heights community, the church expanded also. On October 12, 1997, the congregation held their first service in their new sanctuary. In 1998, the former sanctuary was dedicated "The Schroeder Hall."
As the diversity of the community continued to increase, a small group was started in September 2001 to minister to the needs of the Chinese families that began attending Calvary. As this group continued grow, a Mandarin bible study soon followed seeing many people making first time commitements to Christ. The burden for the Chinese community intensified in the heart of Pastor McDonald and the leadership, and in May 2003 the Mandarin congregation of Calvary was born. What started as a small group bible study has now grown significantly to a thriving and active ministry to the Chinese community of the Lower Mainland that now meets together for Calvary's Mandarin service at 9:45 with ongoing activities and classes throughout the week. Calvary - one church, two languages.
Today our future is very exciting as new families continue to become a part of the vision of FAITH, FAMILY and FRIENDS. In order to accomodate our continued growth a second service was added at 8:30 am in January 2008, and today we continue to grow as the vision moves forward. Calvary is associated with PHCC Ministries and IPHC Ministries; standing with churches and ministries across the nation of Canada and around the world.
