In 1928, Rev. James Peterson started having apostolic services in his home. In three years twenty more people were baptized. In the 30's the church started renting the Germania Hall on 6th and Bennett Street in Clintonville. The building was named the Full Gospel Mission, but the people still called the movement "Jim Peterson's religion".

In the 1940's, the Christus Lutheran Church came up for sale on 5th Street and the church family rented it. By 1943 the church had purchased the property they were renting and renamed it Clintonville Tabernacle.

By 1952, the church was debt free and the name was changed to Clintonville Apostolic Tabernacle. Forty-five people were baptized and 43 received the Holy Ghost, while Fred Scott was pastor and during Rev. David Fuller's pastorate the record attendance was 67. While he was in Clintonville, Pastor John Grant  started a sister church in Shawano.

While Rev. Ronald Turner was pastor some city wide events were held. One was with Rev. Anthony and Mickey Magnun and another was with Rev. Doyle Spears. The church continued to impact the community as it participated in the Firemen's Festival.

The Sotos arrived in 1988 and a few years later the church name was changed to Calvary Apostolic. The entire church caught Pastor John Soto's vision of a new building and the new facility was completed by Easter Service of 1997. God blessed the church members and the mortgage was paid by the fall of 2000.

In 2003, the church celebrated seventy-five years of serving the community. Special services were held to honor the past pastors and the pillars of the congregation. We praise God for what He has done and for what He continues to do for Calvary Apostolic!
