Biographical / Historical

In 1930, the churches of Flint decided there was a need for a Lutheran church on the east side of Flint. After a survey of the area was conducted by Rev. Martin Kretzmann, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, a mission was begun in a temporary building. In December 1931, an organizational meeting was held and Calvary Lutheran Church was adopted, along with a constitution. A lot was purchased for a church building in March 1932, and construction began in October 1933. The building was completed in July 1935, and a service of dedication took place on July 28, 1935. The church building was then expanded. Calvary Lutheran School was begun in 1940 and then closed in 1969 due to increased cost of operation and decreasing support for the program of the school. In 1958, the church building was remodeled. Groundbreaking for a new church building and school was on August 14, 1966. The cornerstone was laid on December 3, 1976, with the dedication held on October 27, 1968. Calvary closed on September 15, 2015.
