How to Find Calvary Lutheran

Calvary Lutheran Church in Park Rapids Minnesota is in the middle of town at the intersection of Highway 71, and Highway 34.  Look across the street to the west and you see McDonald’s. Directly north is Orton’s Convenience Store and gas station.  South of the church is the former Park Rapids Middle School, now remodeled into apartments for our community. We have plenty of parking in our two lots as well as on the street. Use the west doors to enter during the week day. Don’t you just hate it when you can’t figure out where the church is from the website? Oh and there is also a Google map on the About Calvary Page!
