First-Calvary Baptist Church of North Andover

First-Calvary Baptist Church began in Lawrence, Massachusetts over 150 years ago. Several Baptist congregations merged together over the years to form the church now called First-Calvary Baptist Church of North Andover. In January of 1988 a devastating fire destroyed our building in downtown Lawrence.

After a period of prayer and study it was decided to rebuild in the neighboring community of North Andover. We opened and occupied our facility in 1992.

We are a member church of the American Baptist Churches in the USA, a theologically moderate, yet Evangelically oriented denomination in the Baptist tradition of about 1.5 million members with churches throughout the country. Our church has about 300 members with an average attendance on Sundays of between 100-140 during the “program year” of September through June.

Although Baptist by history and tradition, our church membership is made up people from many different Christian backgrounds and we welcome all those seeking a church home or hoping to deepen their relationship with God and God’s people.
