Benevolence

Help When You Need It Most

At Calvary, we believe we’re called to care for one another in practical ways. Our Benevolence Ministry provides support to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship or difficult circumstances.

If you’re facing a need, we invite you to reach out. While we may not be able to meet every need, we’ll do our best to come alongside you with care, prayer, and available resources.
