Description

Calvary the Hill started as a prayer meeting in a small studio apartment on Capitol Hill the summer of 2010. Since then we have met in living rooms, bars, dance studios, warehouses to worship Jesus, learn about his grace through studying the Bible, love one another and serve our neighbors. We currently meet in a 100+ year old church building on the back side of Cal Anderson Park every Sunday at 10 am, and we also gather in smaller groups throughout the week.
