Calvary United Church of Christ is part of the Congregational family of churches in The American Church Story. 368 congregations of the Congregational family gather across Pennsylvania — 2,948 across the United States on The Church Map.

Their conviction that a gathered congregation can govern itself under Christ is now shared by most churches in the country.
