Calvary Free Will Baptist Church organized in 1965 as a small mission in a three-room house on Mud Lake Road in Plant City. In 1967, the church moved into a newly built building only a couple of blocks away. Outgrowing those facilities, the church purchased and moved to the current location on E. Trapnell Road.
