Church Information
History
Calvary Baptist Church was established in 1927 in Pine Bluff Arkansas. In 1946-47 a new building was constructed on West 2nd Ave. which remains the meeting place of Calvary Baptist Church. At the time of the new construction E.W. Johnson was pastoring the church. He continued in the pastorate here until the year 2000. Pastor Johnson was loved and respected in the Sovereign Grace Baptist community. He labored faithfully in the preaching ministry in this assembly as well as preaching in conferences throughout the country. Many current pastors and churches hold the doctrines of grace today due to pastor Johnson's influence.
Calvary Baptist Church has remained faithful to the gospel of God's saving and sovereign grace through the years. This of course is owing solely to God's provision in the power of the Spirit of Christ.
The church has been and is currently involved in missionary efforts. One misnomer concerning Calvinistic doctrines is that missionary zeal lapses when the doctrines of grace are embraced. Nothing could be further from the truth with Calvary Baptist Church. Consistently through the years, while the Calvary pulpit was teaching God's sovereignty in salvation, the need for the spread of the gospel has been equally taught, appreciated, and applied.

Service Style and Times
Calvary Baptist Church conducts its services simplicity. We believe that our rule and guide is the Scriptures. Especially are we directed by the New Testament record of church worship, activity and ministry. We believe that the only viable and vital mode of ministry is the preaching and teaching of God's word as unfolded in the ministry method of Christ and his apostles. The early church was involved in fellowship in the
breaking of bread, participation in corporate worship which included teaching, prayer, and singing.
Service times are :
Sunday Morning
Corporate worship begins at 11 am
Sunday Evening
Corporate worship begins at 6 pm
* No Sunday evening service the first Sunday of each month
Wednesday Evening
Corporate worship begins at 7 pm
