During the early winter months of 1969, in the Union Hill Community Club House, a new church was growing and being formulated. Culmination of this organism reached its zenith when, on September 7, 1969, Calvary Baptist Temple (now known as Calvary Baptist Church) was constituted. Brother Donald Richards, who had guided the formation of the church through the early months, was called as the pastor. With eighty members, work was begun on a building to house the congregation. The property for the building was given by Mr. & Mrs. A. K. Wilkie and their home, "The Wilkie House", is still located at the front of the Calvary Baptist Church property today.

With the continual growth of the membership and the fast erection of the building, the first service was held on Thanksgiving evening in November 1969. The rapid growth continued, so much so, that in June 1971 a new education building was added onto the back of the original Calvary Baptist church building. Shortly afterwards, a bus ministry was added with the purchase of buses and vans to serve the ever-growing needs of the local areas of Cherokee and Forsyth counties. In June 1970, another twenty-one acres of land was purchased for future development. A Pastorium was purchased on adjoining property in November 1973. Then, in April 1975, as a Faith project, a new youth center and physical education building was constructed on the property.

God's presence, guidance and strength has always been with the church and we give Him all the praise, honor and glory for all that has been done.
