About Us

Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), in the Southern Ohio Synod. It was established in the year 1900 and we celebrated its one hundredth anniversary in the year 2000. We are a diverse congregation in age, gender, and background. Though many of our members have lived in Chillicothe all of their lives, many in our church family have relocated to Chillicothe from all over the United States. About 45 miles south of Columbus, Ohio, we are the only ELCA church in Ross county.

Worship services are held each Sunday at 8:15am and 10:45am, with Sunday school classes for Pre-School through adults held at 9:30am. Midweek evening services are sometimes held in the seasons of Advent and Lent. We average 164 people at worship on Sunday morning. We welcome visitors!

Our Mission Statement

Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church is a community whose call to mission is in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In grateful response to God's welcoming and caring love, we endeavor, through worship, study, fellowship, and service to demonstrate, nurture, and embrace that love in our daily living.

Our Faith and Doctrine:

Lutherans are part of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church established by our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. We adhere to the truths of the Holy Scriptures and accept three ecumenical creeds - the Apostles', the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds.

We hold the doctrine of salvation by grace accepted through faith. We believe in the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; in the divinity and humanity of Jesus the Christ, and forgiveness of sins through the atoning work as Jesus as he suffered and died for us on the cross and rose again for our justification. We believe in the resurection of the dead to life eternal.
