ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Calvary is an innovative and growing church in Northern California with an expansive vision to see churches planted all across the Central Valley.

Helping people
find their way
back to God.
Calvary’s main campus is situated in the Country Club neighborhood, which is adjacent to the downtown district, offering a unique opportunity to learn and be equipped at the intersection of urban and suburban life.
STOCKTON
AMERICA'S MOST DIVERSE CITY.*
*According to US News and World Report, Special Report 2020
CITY OF PROMISE
STOCKTON
Make an impact for God’s Kingdom while being equipped for ministry in America’s most diverse city.* Stockton, California is one of the largest cities in California’s central valley and there is a desperate need to make disciples who make disciples by sharing the love of Jesus.
-
320,000 people, but less than 7% are evangelical Christians
-
More churches have closed than been planted for almost two decades in Stockton
-
If every believer made one disciple per year, we would reach Stockton in less than one decade
Come and be a part of changing the tide in Stockton by equipping others and fulfilling God’s promise for salvation and new life in Jesus for everyone who believes.
