Calvary Temple International – Past, Present, and Future

For over 50 years, Calvary Temple International has been a beacon of God's power and light in the Northern New Jersey metropolitan area. This house of worship which had its humble beginnings as a small prayer group consisting of four families in a home in Wayne, NJ, has grown to an assembly of Christ-followers numbering in the thousands! 

Calvary’s Lead Pastor, Matthew Battista, knows the story well. Growing up in this church, Matt has witnessed the ways the congregation has grown, evolved, and expanded over the years. He didn’t anticipate God using him in the ways that he has at Calvary, but Matt loves this community and helping it reach new heights. 

By the grace of God, Calvary Temple has remained steadfast and unshaken in its heart and mission to further the Kingdom of God without compromise of the Word of God through each transition in location and leadership – and Refresh LED got to be a part of its most recent transformation. 

Working with Refresh LED

The team at Refresh has the pleasure of working with Lead Pastor, Matthew Battista, and others on the Calvary Temple team to bring their sanctuary into the 21st century and update their technology to serve all members of their multigenerational congregation. 

“The message will never change but the method has to to keep things relevant and engaging.” – Matthew Battista 

Calvary’s goal was simple – to update their technology in a way that engaged everyone in their community. While their team didn’t realize just how impactful their new LED screens would be for sermons and gatherings, they knew that the need was there. 

The Plan 

Refresh developed a plan with Calvary to install 144, 2.9 mm diamond panels in their space. These screens were perfect for members of the church to view videos, lyrics, and scriptures from any seat in the house – but Calvary quickly realized they wanted even more. After just a few short weeks, their team came back to Refresh inquiring about additional panels. We scoped up another design with them which included an additional 48 panels, bringing their space to 192 panels in total. 

Today, Calvary Temple boasts panels in their main sanctuary that span 5 feet high and 52 feet wide – making an impact for all to see. The panels were installed using ground stacks, so they’re very secure and will withstand the test of time. 

We often work with organizations who come back to our team for additional products. Whether it’s months after the initial install like Calvary or years down the line, many of our customers are businesses we’ve worked with in the past and have a wonderful relationship with. We aren’t just here for the short-term but are entrusted by our clients to provide ongoing support in whatever fashion they need. 

The Results

“These LED products have become a tool and a resource that we’ve been able to use to pull in our people and get them connected in our service production. It sparked interest in people wanting to be involved, from helping with the production ministry and serving on Sunday morning to helping with lights, lyrics, and more. A lot of young people are wanting to be more involved with this and it’s really exciting for us!” 

Refresh helped Calvary Temple from start to finish, providing support with the product selection, installation, and continuing ongoing support. Calvary enjoyed working with Refresh, and said the team was very friendly. Refresh was professional and efficient with their work. 

The Final Product 

The team could see all of the potential of their new LED products when the install first wrapped up. From the first Sunday they had with their new screens, the congregation loved the new technology and was excited to engage as a whole. 

Calvary is very rooted in The Word, and they love using the technology to display scriptures large enough for everyone to see. The church is really intentional in serving all of their generations and giving them all a place to feel seen and heard. With younger generations generally being more disengaged, these video walls have been helpful in connecting with them. 

With each passing week, the congratulation loves the screens and new ways to enjoy the services more and more. The evolution of Calvary has been incredible to witness.
