From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the late-20th century denomination in Philadelphia, USA. For the mid-20th century denomination in England, see Church of the Nazarene.
The Calvary Holiness Church is a small Christian denomination in the pietistic and holiness tradition. It is a division from the Brethren in Christ Church.
The Calvary Holiness Church began in 1963 when the Philadelphia Brethren in Christ congregation (org. 1897) withdrew from the Brethren in Christ, rejecting perceived changes in the denomination's faith and practice. The body incorporated in 1964, and had two congregations with about 40 members in 1980.
