PURPOSE
Calvary Covenant Ministries (CCM) was birthed in the spirit of Bishop L.W. III and Pastor Natalie Francisco, senior pastors of Calvary Community Church, in 1996 after establishing their first church plant in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Calvary Covenant Ministries was formalized in 2006 and exists to provide oversight, wisdom, resources and support to ministries desiring to be relevant locally, nationally and internationally. CCM is a fellowship for those pastors who have connected with Bishop and Pastor Natalie and seek to be mentored under, and glean from their years of leadership, wisdom and success.
