At Calvary, we celebrate the diversity of humanity given to us
​as a gift from God, our Creator.

The pandemic forestalled efforts for a public gathering again this year, but our work as allies goes on.

​This page is dedicated to sharing information and our support for
gay, lesbian, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual, and non-binary persons.
