Calvary Presbyterian Church
A revitalizing, egalitarian, LGBTQ+ affirming
PCUSA congregation
in the Greater Wilmington, Delaware area
At Calvary, we strive to follow Jesus in a community rooted in the
“Just as you are”
kind of belonging that celebrates and welcomes all.
We aren’t flashy, high-tech, or perfect –
and we don’t pretend to be.
We value our small congregation –
because it contains a rich history and a whole lot of love.
We believe God’s love welcomes all –
no exceptions.
We believe God calls us to be
Egalitarian & LGBTQ+ Affirming
In the 1980s, Calvary became the first congregation in the
New Castle Presbytery to call a woman to be our pastor.
Women continue to be affirmed in every level of leadership.
That legacy continued in the 2010s as Calvary called an openly gay minister to serve as our pastor.
LGBTQ+ people continue to be affirmed in every level of leadership.
We believe we are imperfect people, who are loved by God, so we are always seeking to grow.
In 2025, our leadership team passed the following statement as a declaration of our values and dedication to continuing to grow as God calls us:
“As Christians, Calvary Presbyterian Church affirms all people are created in the image of God and bear sacred worth. We affirm the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s commitment to ending sinful systems of oppression, hatred, and ignorance through anti-racism, justice, and diversity efforts. We are humbled by the ongoing work God is doing to create communities made of persons of different genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, classes, cultures, and other categories of human diversity. Our commitment is to continually learn, grow, and faithfully respond to God’s work.”
We believe God calls us to serve.
