ABOUT CALVERT COMMUNITY CHURCH Beginning with just over a dozen adults and young people on the team, Phil and Nancy Van Wart came to Calvert County looking to establish a church that would help reach the many county residents not yet involved in local churches. Early Easter morning, April 4, 1999, the team would be found at Huntingtown Elementary School busily setting up the chairs, staging, lighting, sound, children’s church, and nursery for the Grand Opening of Calvert Community Church. The team had worked for months to make friends with the community and invited as many people as possible through various means, not the least of which was a massive direct mail campaign including the infamous “Caveman’s” invitation to “Come as you are.” That first Sunday service was attended by some 70 guests, most all of whom admitted that it was the caveman that led to their attendance. The tone was set as Calvert Community Church has continued to grow, simply asking people to “come as you are” to find a loving and accepting God and a church that reflects His values and mission. Calvert Community Church now meets on its beautiful 40 acre campus. We like to call our temporary meeting place cozy, but on any given Saturday you may find Calvert Community Church’s “Weekend Warriors” working to complete its new multipurpose building. Its larger seating capacity and availability of adjourning classrooms and office space promises to help the church in its continued growth and ministry expansion. Those who are new to the county and looking for a church home that will provide ample ministry opportunities or those who are just now thinking about trying a new church or trying church for the first time ought to consider Calvert Community Church. Our invitation has never changed. Please, come as you are and see what God is doing at Calvert Community Church.
