With roots in Fruitland dating back to 1964, Calvary Church Fruitland has had a long-standing presence in the community. It has previously gone by the names Payette Baptist Church and Fruitland First Baptist. In 2025, they were replanted as Calvary Fruitland by their sending church, Calvary Nampa. Pastor Ridgway said their vision is to make Jesus non-ignorable in Fruitland and to the ends of the earth. They love this community and are thankful for God's grace to sustain them over the years.

Thank you, Calvary Church, for being a part of the loyal FMTC Cooperative family for over 40 years! FMTC Marketing Manager Melody Goodman is pictured with Pastor Justin Ridgway.
