In Touch With The Pastor
It is hard to imagine we have spent
nearly half a decade pursuing a "Church of
Great Expectations" vision and goals. God has
richly blessed us and given us strong effective
leadership. From the start, although we had
high hopes, we knew that some would not
come along side of us.
So, we gave them room to sit on the
sidelines and complain. Still, we decided it
was God's will, not our own or even that of
the Pastor, we were seeking to fulfill. Just
look where God has brought us from. We are
truly becoming the Church that God wants us
to be. Each one of us is on the road toward
our fullest potential. We do have reason to
celebrate118 years of faithful Christian
service in this community.
Praise God for each one of you. You
have made a significant difference. The
Church continues to grow in numbers and in
strength.
More and more people are participating
in Bible Study and Prayer Meeting. We have
baptized more new members than have come from other churches. New babies have been
blessed. Men and women are still eager to get married. Leaders are stepping up, taking
responsibility, and being held accountable. As the Body of Christ, we are functioning more and
more as one. Fingers are not going around as if they do not need hands and eyes are
remembering that they must work together with ears and noses for the good of the whole. We
do celebrate in the words of the Psalm 133: "Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in Unity."
It is our pleasure to welcome all of the pastors and congregations from across our
community. We have special guest pastors from Missouri and California that have come to
share with us. Just to have you here brings great joy to our souls.
We renew our commitment to be the best that we can be, to accept the heritage God has
provided for us, and to live so that God gets the glory in our lives. Thank you so very much.
Let's keep on praising God from whom all our blessings flow!

Church history
By the 1890’s, Salt Lake City’s small Black population had gained sufficient enough
numbers as to encourage the formation and support of independent institutions that
provided African-Americans with the opportunity to give greater meaning to their lives. In
addressing their spiritual needs, a group of Blacks who identified themselves as the Baptist
Prayer Band, met and held worship services in their homes. By 1892, the “Baptist Prayer
Band” was clearly established as “The Calvary Missionary Baptist Church” and identified
as the “little colored house of worship in the alley.”
In June of 1896, Reverend A. E. Reynolds announced in the “Broad Ax” (a Black
newspaper) that a building located in the rear of a white church was available as a place of
worship for Black Baptists. January, 1898, Reverend D. Jones arrived in Salt Lake City
from Topeka, Kansas to pastor Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. He was replaced in
1901 by Reverend J. W. Washington, an energetic person whose leadership was
instrumental in the church’s growth during his tenure. On Sunday, June 29, 1902, the
pastor and members of the congregation gave an afternoon and evening reception at their
new chapel located at 472 East Second South. In 1911, the Eastside Baptist Church site
was purchased by the Calvary congregation from Immanuel Baptist Church. The first
services were held on February 5th at the 679 East Third South location. Reverend Allen
Newman, pastor of Calvary from 1913 to 1915.
In 1921, under the leadership of Reverend George Hart, the Calvary Baptist Church
was incorporated by the State of Utah. Between 1924 and 1954, Calvary had eight
pastors. In 1951, the Articles of Incorporation were revised and approved by the
membership. The Reverend William I. Monroe served as pastor of Calvary from 1954 to
1967. During his tenure, the church membership made great strides in terms of its
membership and financial condition. On November 3, 1966 the Calvary congregation
joyfully marched from their former worship place at Third South and Seventh East to their
new place of worship at 532 East Seventh South. Special services culminated the activities
of this day.
In 1974, Reverend France A. Davis was installed as pastor of Calvary. Pastor Davis
has served the congregation for a longer period than any of his 22 predecessors. During his
tenure, Calvary has continued her ongoing mission. Pastor Davis and the Calvary
congregation dedicated Calvary Towers, a low-income senior citizen housing complex
adjacent to the church at 532 East Seventh South on July 30, 1989. Under Reverend
Davis’ tenure, many improvements have been made. The 10/36 Scholarship Plan was
initiated in 1992. The goal is for each member to contribute $10 per month for 36 months
to endow a scholarship account to enable the church to substantially further the education
of our youth by providing financial assistance. Church pews were padded in 1993 to aid in
the comfort of our visitors, friends and members and in 1993 a public address system was
installed complete with speakers, monitors, sound board, double cassette recorder-player
deck and microphones to assist in making the ministry available to all. Pastor Davis, with
support of the congregation, earned a Masters of Ministry Degree.
The membership and visitors continue to increase resulting in seating and parking
problems. In 1994, an 8:00 a.m. worship service was added to alleviate the problem.
-3-
Church history (continued)
However, as our members continue to thirst for knowledge about Jesus Christ, many stay
through to the 11:00 a.m. service.
By the fall of 1995, it was apparent the Church had outgrown the 532 East 700
church site. The membership voted approval to purchase land and build a larger church
facility. Each member was asked to pledge and give accordingly as the Lord blessed them.
In 1996, God blessed us to secure approximately 2 1/2 acres of land and we have
constructed a 47,000 square feet church facility at 1090 South State Street. This has
provided the congregation with adequate space for worship, education, community and
recreational activities. The official dedication was in November, 2001. We are enjoying
what Dr. Robert Fowler calls a “First Class” facility. Praise God from whom all blessings
flow. With more than 600 members and many more attending, the congregation continues
to meet spiritual needs first and foremost while also helping people wherever they hurt.
Since everybody is welcomed, our congregation is more and more diverse with a distinct
African American style of worship. We lift our voice in praise and trust God to speak to
our lives.
In recent years Calvary had an exciting youth oriented revival as part of our annual
week long revival. The early morning Thanksgiving worship service followed by a
complete Thanksgiving Dinner with smoked turkeys and all of the trimmings was enjoyed
by all who attended. Our reading and tutoring programs continue to grow and we added
“Success Maker,” a program for those advanced beyond the Waterford Program. We have
implemented the Waterford Program in private homes thereby providing computer access
to young children who otherwise would not have access. We are offering Spanish classes
as the demand arises. Calvary was designated as the location for Utah Reaching Out,
which was a state funded program implemented for assisting our Katrina families. Zion’s
Bank continues to support two full-ride college scholarships administered by Calvary
Baptist Church. Thanks to the generous donations of the Paul Millsap family, we are
administering the Paul Millsap Scholarship, a source of funds that supports an ever
increasing number of students seeking a college education.
Our Sound Ministry is now providing CD’s and DVD’s of each service and church
membership grows as does our spirit and maturity. We continue to baptize new members
and equip our disciples. Since 2007, Calvary Baptist Church has been striving to be a
Church of Great Expectations. We developed long range goals planned through 2012 with
special emphasis to a) encourage our youth b) take care of seniors c) train for
accountability and d) identify and utilize the gifts God has given us. “Leading like Jesus”
bible study and other leadership classes are available and we invite you to join us in
moving on up to “Newness of Life” and read about us on our website
(http://www.calvaryslc.com).
Nobody can deny that God has brought us a long way. Thank you for your support
and participation in the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. We are truly blessed to be a
congregation that is “ALIVE AND WELL.” GOD BLESSES!!!!!!!!!!!

The Church Triumphant
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we’ve settled the question, We’ve made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Oh, this ship’s been thru battles before
Storms and tempest and rocks on the shore.
Tho’ the hull it may be battered,
Down inside it’s safe & dry
It will carry its cargo to the port in the sky.
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we’ve settled the question, We’ve made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Is alive, is alive, is alive.
The Church is alive, alive, is alive.
The Church is alive and well, and well, and well.
