Just across the old courthouse in the center of Towson, the Calvary Baptist Church in Towson is part of ABCOTS (American Baptist Church of the South) and was founded in 1889, when the pastor of a baptist tabernacle held a worship service in a local blacksmith shot. Apart from regular church services, the church is involved in mission work with Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity, Our Daily Bread and other organizations. The church invites all who seek a saving relationship with Christ to visit.
