In 1931, Rev. Charles E. Fuller was the pastor at Calvary Church of Placentia. At the time of its founding, the church had 150 members.[1] According to Pastor Michael Samsvick, who became pastor in 1961, Calvary was founded by Christians who wanted a church that would "stand for and teach the whole Bible as the Word of God.[4]
The Church met in rented space at the Ebell Club in Downtown Santa Ana until moving into a renovated house in October 1942.[5] Its first building on Tustin Avenue was dedicated in 1962.[4] In 1967 the Church dedicated a new, 850-seat sanctuary at a cost of $350,000.[4] In 1981 the Church had 1,000 members,[6] by 1992 it had grown to 4,500 members under the leadership of pastor David Hocking, who left the church under a cloud of scandal.[7]
Calvary dedicated a new 75,000-square-foot building costing $9.7 million in November 1992, the "largest worship center" in Orange County.[6]
