On Thursdays, we host the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network's Thursday Community Supper at 5:00 p.m. This is a free home-cooked dinner open to anyone.
We are an Emergency Feeding Program participant, which means individuals can come in and apply and immediately receive a bag of groceries. (This service may be utilized 1x/year.)
Calvary hosts the Reach Out Men's Homeless Shelter for January and February each year. This program is administered through Catholic Community Services.
Calvary donates to many local programs, particularly to FW Community Caregiving Network, Reach Out Homeless Shelters, and the Federal Way Multi-Service Center.

BELIEFS
Every person is God’s child and is welcome here. Jesus makes no distinctions between people; neither do we.
Our focus is on the one Lord, Jesus. Jesus calls us to follow him. We strive to be faithful to that call in all we do as a congregation.
God saves by grace through faith. Forgiving sins, putting things right, and promising eternal life are God’s work, not ours. We don’t have to do anything because, in Jesus, God has done it all.
Jesus brings us to the Father and each other. Because of Jesus, we don’t need to fear God but we are free to love God. We love one another as God has loved us.
Jesus calls us to love, serve, share the good news, and enjoy life together.
Every day marks a new life in Christ. Jesus sends us into each day to be his servants and ambassadors with our hearts full of gratitude and joy.
