History
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 breakaway church wished to continue to emphasize the wearing of a headcovering by women, plain dress, temperance, footwashing, and pacifism.[2]
The church incorporated in 1964, and had two congregations with about 40 members in 1980.
