Our Story

A brick church building with a white roof and steeple, parking lot with several cars, and a background of residential houses and green hillside.

  • God begins to call Steve Bray from and his family from PEI back home to Newfoundland.

  • Steve Bray is voted in affirmation to be the lead elder of Calvary Baptist Church.

  • The dream of Mile One Mission is born. Calvary sells the Kenmount Road location and rents space from a local 7th Day Adventist church.

  • Mile One Mission officially becomes the church planting arm of Calvary Baptist.

  • Calvary moves into its current location—giving both Calvary and Mile One a permanent home.

Mile One Mission began in 2019, as a ministry of Calvary Baptist Church, when our church saw the clear need for more gospel-centered churches in our province.

Only 1% Evangelical

St. John’s, our capital city, is one of the least churched and most forgotten regions of North America.

The St. John’s Metro Area has a population of approximately 250,000 people but only 2,400 attend any type of gospel-preaching church on an average Sunday.

This means that just under 1% ATTEND any type of EVANGELICAL church on an average Sunday in St. John’s.

What began as a hopeful prayer has grown into a movement of God. So far we have planted 4 churches, and the Lord is continuing to bring people to the faith.

We are blown away with what God has done and even more hopeful for what He will do on the Rock.

Lord willing, we will see 17 churches planted as the Lord Jesus saves people across our province.
