Calvary

Originally called Minerd Chapel, it was organized February 11, 1894 under the leadership of Reverend David E. Minerd with 48 members. Received into Pittsburgh Conference Methodist Protestant membership in 1895. Later it was known as East End Methodist Protestant Church and then Second Methodist Protestant Church until the spring of 1938 when the name was changed to Calvary Methodist Church. A frame structure was built and was opened for worship July 28, 1894. In the spring of 1932, a brick educational wing was added and consecrated May 14, 1933. The last church service in the frame building was held March 13, 1938 at which time the frame building was replaced with a modern brick building. In 1956 a second brick educational wing was added thus completing the church. In the spring of 1967, a new modern brick Parsonage was purchased and the old frame one was razed. This Church was always a station appointment. Membership in 1968 was 638. The membership on January 1, 2003 was 424. In 2018, Uniontown: Calvary UMC became one of 14 churches in a newly formed cooperative ministry called South Fayette Cooperative Parish, serving communities in southern Fayette County.. The Uniontown: Calvary congregation loves to reach out to a variety of community groups and is a great supporter of Jumonville.
