A Gospel-Centred Church in Huron County
Thank you for visiting our website

We welcome you to join us every Sunday at 10am.
Welcome to Calvary Baptist Church located in beautiful Goderich, ON!
We are a local church in existence since 1963 with one overarching purpose: to glorify God by growing together in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. We come from different backgrounds and walks of life but what unites us as a church family is THE GOSPEL: the good news of what God has done in His Son, Jesus Christ, to save us ultimately from sin and its consequences and to bring us to Himself. This is what now fills our lives with much praise, joy and passion toward the one true and living God of the universe. Gathering as a church is a highlight at Calvary Baptist. If you are in Huron County, we invite you to worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10am. Please take some time to browse through our website. If you have any questions about our church, feel free to reach out to us at goderichcalvary@gmail.com

Sam Katchikian: Lead Pastor/Elder
Sam is a fourth-generation survivor of the Armenian Genocide. He was born in the Middle East during the upheaval of the Lebanese Civil War. During this time, his family moved between Lebanon, Syria and Greece before settling permanently in Montreal, Canada. This diverse cultural background gave Sam the opportunity to learn four languages: Armenian, Greek, French and English. God—in His glorious grace—used the witness of Sam’s mother to rescue him from his sins and grant him forgiveness and new life in Christ at a young age. After completing a B.A. in Sociology from McGill University in 2008, Sam began his theological studies at the Presbyterian College in Montreal. He graduated in the spring of 2011 with an MDiv and settled in Toronto to complete an internship at the Armenian Evangelical Church of Toronto. Prior to his arrival at Calvary Baptist Church, Sam served as Associate Pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Oakville, ON. He was ordained by The Fellowship in May 2019. Sam’s greatest joy in ministry is to make the name of Jesus known through the preaching of the Gospel, doing so to the glory of God. He is passionate to see disciples formed in the local church who delight to “walk in Christ, rooted and built up in Him, established int he faith and abounding in thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7). Sam is married to his lovely wife, Jennifer. The Lord has blessed them with three children: Brianna, Matthew & Tavit. In his spare time, Sam enjoys reading, drinking a good cup of coffee, going on family road trips, watching investigative journalism shows, perusing the statistics on the back of his sports cards and staying fit playing soccer (yes, even after two ACL surgeries). As an avid Montreal Canadiens fan, Sam keeps his hopes up by reminding himself that there is always next season!
