The Congregation of Calvary Presbyterian Church
The congregation of Calvary Presbyterian Church is made up of people of varied backgrounds, political affiliations, interests and talents. What brings us together is our firm belief in being a Christian community and growing together in God’s love. Take a few moments to meet some members of our congregation...

Betty Winchell: Betty is a transplanted Kansas sunflower, arriving in Oregon at age seven. A year later a neighbor friend invited Betty and her sisters to attend Sunday School at then Unity Presbyterian (now Calvary Presbyterian) Church. So 70+ years later she is still here. Betty accepted Christ as my savior, was baptized and joined the church at age twelve. After college and one year in California--while her husband Dick was in the service--they returned to Calvary and assumed the responsibilities of working with the Junior High youth for more than 25 years. After a career of 30 years in education--preschool for Betty, elementary education for Dick--they organized and directed Calvary’s Cooperative Preschool for nine years. The Preschool is now completing its 22nd year. Betty has five children (four daughters and one son), twelve grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. She has also served as a Sunday School and Junior Church teacher, an elder, a deacon, and am now one of the Calvary Bell Ringers.
