Questions

When and where can I visit?

Sunday worship and Bible study meet at 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM at 1900 North Douty Street, Hanford, CA 93230. The two Sunday services have identical content and format. Wednesday men's study begins at 6:30 AM, and the midweek service at 7:00 PM.

What should I expect at a service?

Dress is casual; the church asks people to dress modestly. Worship includes hymns and contemporary songs, followed by Bible teaching. After Sunday services, people often stay to talk or pray in the courtyard and cafe.

Where can families sit, and are children's classes available?

Children's classes are provided from nursery through fifth grade for Sunday services and Wednesday evening. Children younger than junior-high age do not sit in the main Sunday sanctuary. Families who prefer to remain together can use the foyer, balcony, cafe, courtyard or Stream Room. A women-only Mother's Room is available for mothers with infants. Ask an usher to help you find the right area.

How can I get involved?

Speak with a pastor after a service or use the church's Serve page to learn about volunteer opportunities. Annual events include Vacation Bible School and a fall event. The church also encourages participation in Operation Christmas Child and support for the local Crossroads Pregnancy Center; that center is a separate organization.

Can I watch or listen online?

Livestreams are available at https://www.youtube.com/@calvaryhanford/streams. The official website has archived Bible studies and transcripts, and the Calvary Hanford podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
