Calvary Church enjoys a rich history of over 125 years of worship and service that began on August 25, 1886 when the church first organized in Englewood, a Dutch neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, naming themselves the First Reformed Church of Englewood. This nascent church joined the Reformed Church of America (RCA) denomination. A year later, the first building was constructed, hosting a congregation of 33 people. Six short years later, the congregation had grown to a size that a new church building was needed. This new building served our congregation until 1958, when we moved to a new facility just outside of the Englewood area, prompting a name change to Calvary Reformed Church of Chicago. During the next fifteen years, the congregation continued to grow and the members began to move further away from the city to the suburbs. Once again, the church began to look for possible locations for a new church site. Through a miracle of God, a parcel of land in a new, growing town called Orland Park was donated as a gift to the church by Christian friends of the church. Construction began in 1974. Calvary Reformed Church of Orland Park had its first service in February of 1976 on 151st Street and 80th Avenue. In 1995, we shortened our name to Calvary Church. In June of 2011, we moved to our current location on 161st Street and 104th Avenue in response to parking and growth issues.
