About

Who We Are

We are a church located in Ninilchik, Alaska.

Calvary Baptist Church of Ninilchik, Alaska, began in the mid-1930s as a ministry primarily to the children of the village. Within a short time whole families were attending. In the late 1950s the church moved from the old village to its present location on the Sterling Hwy. across from the Ninilchik General Store. Our purpose is to glorify God and to build up the saints by preaching and teaching the whole Bible which we believe is the revelation of God to man. We are a church that reaches the whole family through services four times a week consisting of Sunday School (9:30 am) for preschoolers through adults; a morning worship service (10:30 am); a Sunday evening service (6 pm, except for the 1st Sunday of the month when we have our dinner fellowship immediately following the morning service); and a Wednesday evening prayer and Bible study time (6 pm). All are welcome.

In 1989, our dear shepherd at that time, Pastor Ron Blough, initiated our reading through a portion of the 66 books of the Bible as a congregation, typically a chapter each Sunday. Since July 2019, our current pastor, Jon Cardwell, usually preaches from the text read (with occasional exceptions).

  • We preach from the ESV Bible.

Jon Cardwell

After more than seven years as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Ninilchik, Alaska, Jon Cardwell is retiring due to physical ailments. The church is currently seeking a pastor. Go to the "Article" page to see our Pastor Search listing.

Jon was saved by God's sovereign grace on June 3, 1985, while serving in the U.S. Navy as a deep sea diver. Medically discharged at rank of Chief Petty Officer following Operation Desert Storm, he served as a missionary in the Philippines from 1993-1995. In 2000, he was called to pastor his first church in Riverside, California, First Filipino Methodist Church. An adherent to the 1689 London Baptist Confession since 1987, Jon reluctantly heeded to the Lord's call. He has since ministered as pastor and missionary-pastor to churches in Alaska and Alabama, his last pastorate being Calvary Baptist Church in Ninilchik, Alaska.

Due to ailments springing from latent onset diving decompression sickness, Jon is ministering to his wife, family, and friends as a fellow Christian and witness of Christ's amazing grace. He and his wife Lisa will be settling in Buda, Texas to be near their youngest daughter and youngest grandson.
