History
= 19th century
=The church was founded in 1862. Calvary's sanctuary building was designed by the U.S.-German architect Adolf Cluss, who also designed a number of other leading buildings in Washington, D.C.
Calvary is the founding church of the Northern Baptist Convention, which is now American Baptist Churches USA, a leading church of the Baptist Sunday School movement at the turn of the century.
= 20th century
=Calvary is unique in Baptist life for having simultaneously had the presidents of the American Baptists, then pastor Clarence Cranford, and that of the Southern Baptists, former Democratic member of Congress from Arkansas Brooks Hays, as members of the congregation.
In accordance with its vision statement, Calvary concentrated on its relationship with the Latino, and especially Salvadoran population by introducing bilingual services and partnering with a church in El Salvador, led by Rev. Edgar Palacios.
Calvary has been active in immigration reform efforts, along with the issue of marriage equality.
In 1983, Calvary founded the Calvary Women's Shelter, now Calvary Women's Services, the first women's homeless shelter in the Washington metropolitan area.
