Calvary Baptist Church began September, 1963. The valley area was busy with activity, and the area Regular Baptist Pastors of the Bethany Fellowship in the North East Ohio area felt the need for another church.The Pastors met together for prayer, asking the Lord where they should start the new church. It was funded under the Program of Propagation, headed by Rev. Earl Umbaugh, the state missionary with the Ohio Association of Regular Baptist Churches.The Holy Spirit guided them to the city of Hubbard. The first to attend were some who normally drove to Sharon Baptist Church in Sharon, PA. And the church was born.

Rev. William Davis was the church’s first pastor. The new pastor and the tiny membership met to decide on a name. They chose to call themselves The Hubbard Baptist Church. The meeting place they chose was the former Grace Lutheran Church on Church Street. The buildings and property were purchased for twenty-five thousand dollars. On November 24, 1963 the first official service was held with Pastor William L. Davis preaching from Titus 2:14. Interestingly, this was the first Sunday following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

At the December, 1964 meeting, the discussion came about that the First Baptist Church on Orchard Ave was contending the use of Hubbard Baptist, since they also referred to their church by that name. They decided rather than cause hard feelings, they would incorporate using the name Calvary Baptist Church of Hubbard.
