History of Calvary Temple Assembly of God

The church was started in January of 1927 by Ida Olson and Louise Arnold.  
The original name of the church was “The Open Door Mission” and the
members met in a building on Main Street near the former Fairmont Dairy in
Marinette, WI.  The fledging church moved a number of times meeting in
different rented buildings.

In October of 1937, the Rev. Hugo Olson and his wife, Hazel, assumed the
pastorate.  On November 14, 1938 the church became affiliated with the
“Assemblies of God”.  In 1939 the congregation purchased the former Danish
Norwegian Methodist Church building on the corner of Shore Dr. and Carney
Blvd. They had been renting since 1933. On January 15, 1948, with Rev. Olson
still as pastor, the church reached General Council status.

In July of 1956, Evangelist Morris Hayes was voted in as the pastor, shortly after
Rev. James Hamann left.  A new building was needed and ground-breaking
took place in April of 1957 at 3036 Carney Ave.  It was dedicated on November
4, 1957, under the new name of Calvary Temple Assembly of God.  An addition
was built on in 1985-86 and the Fellowship Hall was built in 1999 and
dedicated on May 21, 2000.

Rev. Tim Hawthorne (Donna) has been the senior pastor since July 29, 2001.
