What Makes Calvary Baptist Church of Morrisville Unique? Our Story and Mission
Calvary Baptist Church of Morrisville isn’t just a building—it’s a community rooted in faith, fellowship, and love. Our story began with a small group of believers who were passionate about sharing the love of Christ with their neighbors, and that passion still drives us today.
Our Story
It all started in Carpenter, North Carolina, when a group of 15 adults came together with a heart for Jesus. Originally known as The Freewill Gospel Church of Carpenter, we purchased land in Morrisville in 1977 to establish a permanent home. In 1982, we became Calvary Baptist Church of Morrisville, and our journey of faith took root.
Our first pastor, Rev. Richard M. Coman, not only led our congregation spiritually but also designed the plans for our church building, putting his passion for both faith and craftsmanship into action. Church members worked side by side to build a place of worship that reflected their devotion. After Rev. Coman moved on, Rev. Dick Allen became our second pastor, earning the love and respect of our community. During his leadership, Calvary Baptist Church of Morrisville became known as "The Praying Church"—a name that continues to resonate with us today.
In 2019, we joined the Raleigh Baptist Association, strengthening our connections with other local churches and ministries. Through the years, our congregation has experienced growth and change, but our commitment to glorifying Jesus has never wavered. Today, we continue to thrive as a community where faith, love, and service go hand in hand.
