Like many other Black Protestant churches, Calvary Baptist struggled economically during the coronavirus pandemic.
But the church has transformed its parking lot to accommodate game-day fundraisers, with volunteers from the congregation staffing the lots and selling spaces for $15 per vehicle.
All 250 parking spaces at the Calvary lot were full when Messi’s Inter Miami played the Union.
Sometimes, rival fans park at the church.
The church parking lot is often full on game days.
