Calvary Chapel and its school

53494 FIR ROAD · DIRECTORY STRENGTH

The Fir Road corridor carries a third congregation beside the Catholic parish: Calvary Chapel, at 53494 Fir Road, Granger, telephone (574) 273-9987 in the directory record — a congregation of the Calvary Chapel movement, the verse-by-verse Bible-teaching fellowship that grew out of Costa Mesa, California, in the Jesus Movement years. Its school stands on the same ground: the county's private-school record lists Calvary Chapel School at 53494 Fir Road, and school-directory profiles classify the campus as Pentecostal in affiliation, running preschool through eighth grade with an enrollment counted at 236 students — the school the Story of Granger section counts among the place's private schools under the name Calvary Christian, carried in the Schools section. The congregation's founding course — when the Calvary Chapel fellowship seated a church on Fir Road and who planted it — is not in the record this section read first-hand, and it is printed as a named gap, settler: the congregation's own record and the Calvary Chapel Association's church directory, which carries each affiliated church's own account of itself.
