About Us

Our Story
Calvary Christian Fellowship, Inc. was founded in July 1984, when Dr. Aramis Torres and His wife, Rebecca, obeyed the call of God to start a multicultural church in New York City.
In April 1992, Dr. Torres ordained one of the elders and co-founding members, Rev. Victor Nazario, to the position of senior pastor to continue the Lord’s work.
Throughout the years, Calvary has co-labored with the churches in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut Tri-state area in various initiatives such as prayer, evangelism, and reconciliation.
As 2024 marks our 40th year of ministry, Calvary Christian Fellowship continues to grow and increase spiritually, keeping Jesus at the center!
