Affordable Housing

We support hard working Boulder county families with access to affordable housing through the following partnerships.

Habitat for Humanity

For more than 20 years, Calvary has partnered with Flatirons Habitat for Humanity to help create safe, affordable housing for those who form the backbone of our community – working families, first responders, teachers, essential service workers, and the disabled.  This partnership gives Calvary volunteers the opportunity to build something lasting and tangible, directly impacting lives by providing stability and hope through homeownership. Contact Kristen at kreiner@calvarybible.com to find out more. Check out Flatiron Habitat’s website at flatironshabitat.org.

EFAA

The Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) serves as a vital safety net in Boulder, supporting struggling families, older adults, and individuals with disabilities through a range of programs that provide food, housing stability, and essential resources during times of crisis.  Sign up to help with our next food drive or volunteer at EFAA’s food pantry by contacting Kristen at kreiner@calvarybible.com to find out more.  Check out EFAA’s website at efaa.org.

Aging Adults

Calvary engages in partnerships that promote the well-being, dignity, and independence of age 65 and older adults, and their caregivers.

Brookdale Sunday Services

Many residents at Brookdale Assisted Living face daily challenges of loneliness, isolation, and the loss of independence.  Separated from family, familiar routines and meaningful community, they often long for connection, encouragement, and spiritual support.  Through our Brookdale ministries, Calvary volunteers come alongside these residents by offering a bi-weekly church service and a bi-weekly Bible study; creating consistent opportunities for worship, fellowship, and the hope of God’s Word.  These gatherings provide not only spiritual nourishment but also a sense of belonging, reminding each resident that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

Commitment level:  bi-weekly or weekly.  If you’d like to find out more about these ministries, please email Kristen at kreiner@calvarybible.com. 

Homelessness

Calvary supports local agencies that provide homeless services such as food, educational programs, coordinated entry sites, and permanent supportive housing.

Bridgehouse

The Boulder Bridge House offers a comprehensive, one-year program designed to help men and women transition off the streets and into stable, independent lives.  Participants receive free housing, earn a living wage, and gain access to mentorship, counseling, financial literacy education, and hands-on job training that prepares them for long-term employment. Commitment level:  one time, monthly, weekly.  If you’d like to find out how you can be involved in serving meals, please contact Steve Hardin at iu1992sdh@gmail.com, and if you’d like to learn how to become a mentor for a program participant, please contact Scott Medina at scott@boulderbridgehouse.org

Calvary believes that prayer is a necessary part of the Christian life. It is our life-line to the Lord! Join us in praying for Boulder.

UniteBoulder

This intercessory prayer movement is a unified effort to seek God on behalf of the people and places of Boulder, inviting His transforming presence into every corner of the city. Rooted in a vision of spiritual renewal for the city, UniteBoulder calls followers of Jesus to commit to daily, intentional prayer for specific individuals, neighborhoods, and community spaces – trusting God to bring hope, healing, and restoration.

Service Teams

Calvary’s Service Teams bring together groups of men and women to serve local community partners through hands-on projects that meet practical needs while building meaningful connections. 

Service Teams

These teams provide a powerful opportunity for volunteers to discover and use their God-given gifts in ways that directly impact others. From creating a thoughtfully designed “boutique” at the Safehouse, where clients can access clothing with dignity, to organizing and maintaining donation spaces, volunteers help foster environments of care and respect. Service Teams have also reorganized offices and storage areas for greater efficiency, and even built welcoming indoor play and teen spaces that offer comfort and joy. Through these projects, Calvary not only supports the important work of its partners but also communicates to those they serve that they are valued and deserving of safe, beautiful, and intentional spaces.

Commitment level: one time, monthly. To find out more about these teams and their upcoming projects please contact Bill Jancosko at woksocnaj@gmail.com, or Kristen Reiner at kreiner@calvarybible.com.
