No matter your stage in life, we have a place for you!

Founded in 1965  by Janthika Yohan, Telugu Baptist Church has a rich history rooted in the unwavering truth of God’s Word. From its beginning, our church has upheld the authority and infallibility of Scripture, holding fast to the King James Version as the true Word of God. We are an Independent Baptist church that remains faithful to our heritage while being open and welcoming to all people.


Since 1994, our church has flourished under the leadership of Pastor Prakash Raj. With his dedication to the Gospel and a heart for service, Pastor Prakash Raj has guided Calvary Baptist Church through tremendous growth and transformation. His vision has inspired us to expand our ministries, deepen our faith, and reach out to our community with the love of Christ.

Our commitment to the Great Commission is reflected in our strong support for missionaries worldwide. With over 50 active ministries, we strive to make a difference both locally and globally, sharing the message of Jesus Christ and extending His love to everyone we meet.

Whether you are looking for a church home, seeking spiritual growth, or simply curious about what we believe, we invite you to join us at Calvary Baptist Church. Come and experience a place where faith, love, and the Word of God are central to everything we do.

What should I wear?

There is not a strict dress code to attend our public services. We’re more concerned with meeting your needs than focusing on what you wear. A majority of our church members will wear their “Sunday best”- men in a dress shirt, slacks, and a tie, and women in a modest dress or outfit. However, we only ask that you be appropriate in what you choose to wear to church.
