Pastor Gerhard Michael accepted a call to Mount Calvary and arrived in November of 1984. Under his leadership Mount Calvary kept growing in numbers and ministries. In 1987 an extension was added to the building, with offices and a kitchen. In 1988, a call was extended to PastorEdward A. Meyer, retired, to serve as an Assistant Pastor. In January of 1996, after much planning under Pastor Michael’s leadership, construction began on our beautiful, present sanctuary. The faceted glass windows, which are unique to Mount Calvary were designed by Melinda Hopf.
In January of 1999, pastor Reverend David Brighton was called. Since his arrival, additional staff members were added. Jerry Bisping, Director of Christian Outreach, arrived in January of 2000 (now retired). Pete LeBorious, Director of Christian Education, arrived June of 2007.
Following the completion of the new sanctuary, the old church building was re-purposed for the children’s ministry. An additional remodel took place in 2007 and 2008, making it the beautiful children’s haven it is today.
The building next door to the church, now called the Mount Calvary Annex, was purchased spring of 2001 and functioned as a second sanctuary for our praise and worship service. It was remodeled in 2002-2003 and again 2011 and currently serves as a youth center. The Annex is also used for community and fellowship events.
The office wing was remodeled in 2011 adding a conference room, replacing the old nursery. A new nursery and library were added near the sanctuary.
