About Calvary East Lake

Welcome to Calvary East Lake. Our location was the first location to be launched out of our Clearwater location, when 100 families caught the vision to start a new work of God in the East Lake community.

We are located right in the heart of the East Lake community and are conveniently located right off of East Lake road (1190 East Lake Road South), making it a short drive for those in both North Pinellas and South Pasco County. When you arrive at the church, you will see that we truly are a multigenerational church that truly loves one another. Our hope is that when you visit you will feel like this is a place you can call home and a people that you can call family.

Service Experience

Our worship style is unique in that it brings a balance to the contemporary along with traditional hymns and speaks to all ages.

Join us at 10:30 AM every Sunday.

Learn – Engage – Embrace

All of us are on a Faith Journey. At Calvary, we want to meet every person where they are, help them connect with others, and provide a clear next step for personal growth in their relationship with Christ. This all starts with us getting to know each other in an environment we call, “Starting Point”. 

Starting Point is an environment we offer once a month for people looking to connect here at Calvary. It’s a place where we get to hear your story and discover how we can come alongside you in your Faith Journey. A free meal is provided and childcare is available. You can register for the next Starting Point here. 

Come as you are! We do not have any kind of expressed dress code as long as you’re not wearing anything indecent or offensive.

Come early and stop by our East Lake Café for a free cup of coffee and some delicious pastries or breakfast sandwiches for purchase. Café seating is available both inside and outside.

We have parking on both the East and West entrances of the church. If you are a first time guest with us, we have parking on both sides of the campus designated for you. When you park, you will be welcomed by our parking team and if needed, we have golf carts at the ready to give you a lift from your car to the entrance doors.
