Plantation Campus
April was an exciting month for the vision for this campus! On April 15, the city commission passed approval of the Plantation campus site plan! Following the hearing, the next step is to finalize the construction documents and submit them for building permits, which we plan to do this summer. Preparation is also beginning for the renovation of the main sanctuary this summer!
Fort Lauderdale campus – The Union
We have an official grand opening date! On Sunday, May 3, we will open The Union! We’ll hold off on sharing updated photos for now—we think it’ll be worth the wait. You’re invited to join us for the celebration, which will include a prayer of dedication and ribbon cutting, refreshments, and exploration of this incredible multi-use space, which was designed to support and accelerate many of our ministries!
West Boca Campus
Plans are in place for an outside pavilion-like structure that will support ministries by expanding West Boca’s backyard! This will expand usable space for ministries, including youth, young adults, and the after-school ministry. Now that plans are solidified and in place, you’ll see movement at the site soon! In line with the plans for the “backyard,” we’ve added new fencing and a container for additional on-campus storage. We’re excited to see the ministry continue to grow on the West Boca campus!
Boca Campus
We also have a confirmed date for the City Commission hearing on the Boca project. We invite you to pray with us as we ask the Lord for favor as we stand before the commission. We’re hopeful for a strong outcome and confident that He’s leading the way. After the hearing, we’ll move forward with completing the construction documents and preparing for the permit submission, which we’re targeting for the fall.
Global Mission Update
From the Alegres – Missionaries in Peru
High in the mountains of Peru, Calvary’s missionary partners, the Alegre family, are faithfully serving their community through Calvary Chapel Cajambaba and an orphanage called the Refuge of Hope. Their aging mud-brick roof could no longer withstand the torrential rains. The Alegres had to close off parts of the property due to the risk of collapse. While fasting and praying for provisions for the roof, the missionaries also needed a temporary place to hold services.
Update: The Alegres have been provided with the means to fix the roof through our Birthday Gift for Jesus. In addition, they’ve found a temporary facility to hold church services while repairs are underway. Praise God for the provisions as this ministry provides a Christ-centered place of safety, discipleship, and belonging. Between the church and the orphanage, the Alegres are helping to provide education, mentorship, and daily care. Through Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and your generosity, you’re helping to strengthen the ongoing work.
Fort lauderdale West campus – CCA Lower Elementary & Calvary EspaÑol Building
Our building plans have officially been submitted to the city and are currently under review—please be praying for favor throughout this process! Take a look at this latest rendering of the space in action. It’s designed to serve our youngest disciples while also giving families and teachers a beautiful, shaded place to gather.
Progress continues on Phase 1 on the east side of the campus. The softball field is nearly complete and underground drainage systems that will support the entire campus are now being installed. We’re on track to complete Phase 1 by this summer with Phase 2—the gym remodel—beginning shortly after. The gym will help support both our students and the new Calvary Espanol church ministry! Take a look at the progress!
parkland campus
Praise God—we’re under contract to purchase a long-term home for Calvary Parkland! The property, located in Coral Springs and just a short distance from our current campus, is now under contract with closing anticipated within the next 45 days. Please join us in praying that every final detail comes together smoothly in a way that honors the Lord and blesses His people. More to come.
Boynton Campus
At the Boynton campus, we are in the process of finalizing the new youth space , which was the pre-existing cafe! We are so excited for the young people of our church to be discipled in this space!
Pines Campus
Please continue to pray for God’s long-term plan for the Pembroke Pines campus as we hope and believe for a permanent location in the future.
