Slack Group

Slack is our main communication hub for Calvary! 😊 It’s where we’ll share important events, updates, announcements, resources, and team communication. We’ll also send your group’s graphics through Slack for you to review. If anything needs to be edited or you’d like to add any information, just let us know! We want to make sure everything looks great and accurately represents your group! 💛
