Thank you for taking the time to browse through our website.  It is designed to introduce you to our church and its various ministries. 

Calvary Baptist was started in 1956 by a group of believers who felt a great need for an independent, fundamental, Baptist church in the City of Visalia.  We started as a prayer group.  In 1958, the church held its very first service as a church.  It was then officially organized and named in 1959.  Originally, we were a member of the Baptist General Conference, but we became fully independent in the 1970s. 

We purchased the current church property in 1961 and our building was formally dedicated in October 1982.  In 1990, a fire destroyed part of the main building.  However, the Lord helped our members to remain strong and the church was rebuilt.  It was rededicated less than 9 months after the fire did its damage.

I invite you to attend our services and worship the Lord with us.  We are a group of people who are completely in love with the Lord.  Our aim is to serve.  Our purpose is to reach out with the Gospel to all who will listen.  We would be honored to have you as our guest.
