Reverend Desmond Wedderburn is the senior pastor and founder of Calvary Crosses Church. In 2003, he heard the call of God while attending Alliance Theological seminary of Nyack College to plant a church within the housing projects of Flatbush, Brooklyn with a strong emphasis on outreach to youth and their families. In 2005, Calvary Crosses Church was incorporated with the mission of serving the poor, and the oppressed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As one who was delivered from being homeless, from suicide, and crime from the streets of NYC, Pastor Desmond relates to the ills that plagues his urban community. Calvary Crosses Church exists "to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and oppressed, recovery of sight to the blind, proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Calvary Crosses Church is a World Impact Community Transformation Church that is Christ centered and Bible based church located in Flatbush, Brooklyn NY.
