About Us | Calvary Episcopal Church in Front Royal VA

Calvary's Mission

Calvary is guided in the mission of our baptismal covenant to “seek and serve Christ in all persons” and to “strive for justice and peace among all people,” and we believe that all are created in God’s image with inherent dignity. We strive to be a home for our LGBTQ+ and diverse community members in the heart of the valley.

National Church

We align with the National Episcopal Church, which has many focuses that seek to create living giving, and liberating relationships with God and each other. The national episcopal church priorities are transitioning to our new Presiding Bishop's goals and passions.

Feel free to check out our new Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe here.

Tonya Lotts

Tonya Lotts joined Calvary in August of 2023 as our Parish Administrator, after over 25 years in professional administration and management. She has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Strayer University. She has been a wonderful addition to Calvary.

"I have been at Calvary since November 2017. Calvary is one of the most welcoming parishes I have ever been to - immediately feeling at home. Music is an integral part of worship and liturgy. I joined the Vestry to help revitalize the music ministry."
