Children & Youth
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he
is old he will not depart from it.”-Proverbs 22:6
Calvary is full of dedicated, passionate, capable leaders and volunteers who understand the importance of making ministry with children, youth and families a priority. Helping children and youth know God and God’s love in their life, inspiring them to become Christ-centered to serve and to grow in faith, and partnering with parents to nurture the Christian faith life in the home is what Children, Youth and Family Ministries are all about. It is a place where children, youth, and families can connect, learn and grow together.
