Calvary Holiness Association

Dissatisfied members separated from the Holiness Baptist Association on January 7, 1977 for what they termed "broken confidence and lack of trust in the trustee committee".Four more churches joined on January 29, and a committee of seven was formed to draw up articles of faith, discipline and rules of decorum.Its ordinances include baptism by immersion, Lord's supper and feet washing.They maintain abstinence from any use of tobacco or strong drink, excessive use of medicine, use of slang expressions, gluttony, and that ordinary labor and business should not be conducted on Sunday.In 1985 the association was made up of 17 churches with 464 members, in 13 counties in the southern part of the state of Georgia.
