Calvary Life is a non-profit Christian church headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, founded in 2020 and operating with 12 employees across offices at 1635 E 37th Street and the primary Sunday service venue at 1974 Coney Island Avenue.

A portfolio of age- and life-stage-specific programs—Calvary Kids, Calvary Youth, Men's LIFE, Women's LIFE, Calvary Couples, and Family LIFE—is augmented by a structured GrowTrack spiritual growth curriculum, the Calvary Bible Institute for formal theological education, and the GO Missions outreach program, plus one-on-one pastoral counseling and prayer request services. Supporting infrastructure includes a SnapPages-hosted website, multi-platform live streaming via Facebook Live and YouTube Live, and a dedicated interactive church mobile application. The organization's only revenue stream is voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, both in-person and via online giving; no other pricing, fees, or commercial revenue lines are disclosed.
