Calvary Church (Charlotte)

Calvary Church (Charlotte)

Calvary Church is a non-denominational evangelical church in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its senior pastor since 2005 is Dr. John H. Munro. The church was founded in 1939 by the Rev. Archie Dillard, and one of the founding elders was Billy Graham's father Frank, whose participation was in part a response to Billy's conversion.

The current (fifth) building is a Charlotte icon with its unique exterior and crown shape built by Roe Messner. The main sanctuary seats more than 5,000. The 11,499 pipe organ is one of the twenty largest pipe organs in the world, and the top five built all at once.Fact|date=April 2008
