The earliest document that the church has noting its history is a large leather covered Bible dated 1874. We are happy and grateful to celebrate at least one hundred-twenty-five years of Christian Ministry in Humboldt County.

The church was a Congregational Church at that time and remained in that denomination until the 1940's. The church had a building on its present location which burned down in 1922. Later the church re-built and conducted its ministry in what we would call a "one room" church, complete with a wood-burning stove and outside restrooms. The present chapel was completed as an addition in 1963. Since the 1940's, the church has been a non-denominational, independent church.

Calvary Community Church is an evangelical church with doctrinal and fellowship affinities with similar churches in the area. It has been associated with the Triumphant Life Camp Association since its inception in the l950's. Those churches are first Covenant church of Eureka, the Community Evangelical Free Church of Loleta, the Hydesville Evangelical Free Church, and Grace Baptist church of Eureka.

Pastors of the Church since its non-denominational alignment include:
Rev. Floyd Anderson in the late l950's, Rev. John Nelson, 1963-1977, Rev. Robert Cole, Rev. Jim Rovenstine, and Rev. Farnsworth with the American Missionary Fellowship; Rev. Dr. Herb Tyler, Rev. Larry Goin, and Rev. Amos Clemmons.

The Church, like many congregations has gone through many cycles of growth and decline. Since the Fall of 1996, Rev. Amos Clemmons has assisted the church in a rebuilding phase. During this time the church added Rev. Robert Redmond to its staff as Associate Pastor.

The next cycle of growth will be a discipleship and training phase, building upon what Pastor Clemmons and Pastor Redmond have begun. Pastor Dennis Hartman, who came on board in the fall of 2003, will take the lead in this phase of training and sending Believers into and from this Body of Christ; and teach and disciple Leaders and Shepherds to fill the needs of the rural churches in Humboldt County.
