The first services were arranged by Rev. Dwight H. Shelhart who arrived in Two Rivers on . After some consideration he organized the first worship service for the United Lutheran Church in America to be held on October 3 at the JE Hamilton Community House. 110 persons were in attendance. The furniture used in the portable church environment was built by Mr. Henry Greenwood. The church choir as well as Sunday School was organized during the week of February 6, 1944.

The first pastor of Calvary, Rev. Edward Blenker, was installed on July 8, 1944. By September the Women's Guild of Calvary Church was brought into existence. April 6, 1945 marked the first meeting of The Brotherhood of Calvary Church.

July 1, 1945 marked the purchase date for the W.G. Ahearn property at 20th and Adams Streets as the site for the new church. The adjoining residence at 1519 was also purchased as a parsonage

January 13, 1991 the new narthex cornerstone was laid. In addition plans were made for an outdoor meditation area on the eastern wing of the education unit. Through memorial funds and donations this area has continued to develop. During this same year of 1991 a digital piano was added to the Church. It has since enhanced the music at our services.

2001 Pastor Kay Richter accepted the call to be the new pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church. She continues to serve our community.

2003 the need for a building renovation was accepted and to this day we continue to work towards the creation of a gathering space in front of the existing educational unit as well as an update of handicap accessibility. As part of phase 2 of the project we plan to enlarge the church itself. We anxiously look forward to finishing this project with the help of all who call Calvary Lutheran Church their home.
