about us

Calvary Baptist Church

1422 Washington Ave

Alton, Illinois 62002

Located just across the Mississippi River from North St. Louis County, Calvary is experiencing God and seeking to be on mission for Him, all the while looking for others who are willing to join us! Calvary birthed "Cornerstone," a community outreach ministry that seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of those among us, as well as to encourage the family as a place of spiritual growth and health. And, a new multi-purpose facility has allowed the Sunday School and other ministries to expand and minister even further. In these and so many other ways, Calvary's multi-faceted ministry reaches people throughout the entire region, including both sides of the river. A significant period of growth has been occurring over the past several years, as God has led many new individuals to worship and work in the church and to witness in the ommunity. While the Adult Ministry has consistently been strong, more recently the Childhood and Youth Ministries have "come into their own" under the fulltime leadership of ministry staff and the committed assistance of lay volunteers.
