Pastor Len and his wife Cathy have been enjoying New Buffalo since the 1990’s but in 2011, within feet of their current church building, they were injured in a motorcycle accident that changed their lives. Through the Lord’s leading they began a bible study in an empty Church building in New Buffalo. Within a few month’s began holding Church Services and in 2017 the church building was purchased by Calvary Chapel New Buffalo.
We are excited to expand the Calvary Chapel movement into the New Buffalo Community, the harbor of Harbor Country. We have a blend of worship songs, both contemporary and traditional. Our Sunday Service is line by line through the Bible, always with current application to our lives today. We offer Children’s Church as well as Nursery. Come, meet our church family and enjoy a fellowship meal to follow.
We partner locally with Neighbor by Neighbor helping to connect Harbor Country residents to social services. If you have an immediate need please reach out to them at 269-231-0648

"My husband and I have lived in Southwest Michigan since the early 2,000’s. He drove a local delivery route and spent most of his day in his truck listening to Calvary radio. He drove and grew in his Christian walk listening to Pastor Chuck Smith, Don Stewart, and Pastor Jack Abeelen and Jim Motshagen to name a few. Many days he came home to rush in and turn on the radio to finish listening to a program. One day as we drove through local New Buffalo, our heads snapped back and then at each other as we passed the new Calvary Chapel sign by a building once occupied by a local church. I believe we were some of the first visitors that have been attending since the beginning of the new fellowship started by Pastor Len Pera and wife Cathy. We have watched as the small group has grown from those early stages of no sound equipment, a determined little worship team of very inexperienced musicians, and much thought, planning, and prayer. As we participated in many opportunities together, we grew in brotherly love. Today, by the Grace of God and leading of the Holy Spirit, we enjoy a wonderful worship team, line by line teaching through the Word, Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies, midweek Bible study, Operation Christmas Child, and an annual Gospelfest. But our weekly Sunday after-service fellowship meal where we share our burdens, laugh, and sometimes cry, is one of the best times of all. That’s where we continue to grow in love as a very special group of God’s people."
