Pastor's Corner
Dear Calvary Church Family,
Over the past year, we have witnessed the "miracle" of transformed lives and a church united in diversity—across ethnicities and cultures—while God, through His Holy Spirit, continues to move powerfully within our church, our city, and around the world. It has been a true blessing to serve alongside so many this year and to experience the servant-hearted spirit that defines the Calvary family. The health and vitality of this community are unmistakable, and for that, I am deeply thankful and incredibly proud.
As we leave 2024 behind and step into the unknowns of 2025 and beyond, we do so with confidence—knowing that God, by the power of His Spirit, is leading us. He invites each one of us to partner with Him in transforming the world around us. We are called to be faithful stewards of His amazing grace to those in our midst.
In light of all that 2024 was—and all that 2025 is beginning to unfold—we felt it was important and encouraging to create a digital annual report. This is a space to reflect on and celebrate the tangible ways God revealed His mercy and grace at Calvary Church. Even amid the challenges of the past year, we must remind ourselves of the goodness, faithfulness, and greatness of "Yahweh".

Let us remember the many who persevered through trials. The ones who courageously said "no" to destructive temptations. The hearts transformed by the love of God. The families who restructured their calendars and finances to put God first. The generosity of our church family. And the seeds of the gospel that were sown—seeds that will bear fruit in Niagara for generations to come, in ways beyond our imagination.
I want to thank our staff teams, board members, ministry leaders, and dedicated volunteers for the countless hours you've poured into ensuring our ministries thrived and our community remained connected to the message of Christ—a message that continues to resound across the globe.
Calvary Church, your generosity is extraordinary. "Thank you."
Let us not forget the things we so easily overlook. May this be an encouragement to us all as we continue to emerge from one of the most uncertain times of the 21st century, stepping into 2025 and 2026—not knowing what lies ahead, but fully confident that God will uphold us with His righteous right hand.
