We plant and replant churches that are making Jesus non-ignorable to the ends of the earth.
We are a family of 30+ interdependent, autonomous churches across 9 states and 2 countries
The Calvary Family of Churches (CFC) is more than a network—it's a movement. United by a shared name, vision, and core convictions, we’re a growing family of gospel-centered churches that are self-sustaining, self-governing, and committed to planting and replanting healthy congregations.
We lock arms to share resources, offer support, and build infrastructure for lasting ministry. Whether you're looking to launch, relaunch, or strengthen your church, CFC exists to help you thrive.
How We Support Our Churches
-
CARE
We care like family for pastors, their families, and churches by fostering deep relationships and providing intentional support. Through connection events, strategic service efforts, and restorative retreats, we ensure no leader walks alone in ministry.
-
COLLABORATE
We collaborate for God’s glory and kingdom gain. We believe churches thrive when they work together. From regional hubs to shared initiatives like residencies, camps, and leadership cohorts, we combine our strengths for greater kingdom impact.
-
COACH
We invest in the growth of gospel-centered leaders through training cohorts and personal coaching toward growth and change. Whether it’s sharpening ministry skills or navigating challenges with wisdom, we walk with leaders toward health and longevity.
-
CELEBRATE
Celebration fuels our culture. Whether through board meetings that highlight God's work or our annual Non-Ignorable Conference, we joyfully recognize how Jesus is building His church across our family and celebrate wins of all shapes and sizes.
We are radically collaborating to plant and replant multiplying churches of maturing disciples
Formed in 2015, the Calvary Family of Churches began as a response to the growing need for both church planting and revitalization in the Denver area. As Calvary Englewood launched new churches, pastors saw the weight of the resources required—and the opportunity to do more together. What began as strategy sessions turned into a Spirit-led movement to support new and struggling churches through deep partnership.
