Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

The Calvary Pentecostal Church was built along Carberry’s Main Street in 1942, using volunteer labour from its congregation and brick salvaged from a Salvation Army barracks that had stood on the same site. It closed in the late 1990s or early 2000s and the building has been used successively as a clothing store, law office, accounting office, and real estate office.

The building is a municipally designated historic site (2007).
