The goal of Adult Education and Spiritual Formation at Calvary is to create educational ministries and nurture an environment that enables and excites people of all ages to grow in Christian faith and affirm their faith with the church, the city, and the world.
We offer Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies on Zoom as well as in-person Bible Study at the church on Sunday mornings at 9am. During the season of Lent, we hold a church-wide Lenten Small Group Bible Study.
At Calvary, we read scripture in its historical and cultural contexts as we learn together how this sacred text continues to apply to our lives today.
On certain Sunday mornings at 11:30am, speakers and presenters join us to teach, lead, and facilitate discussion on faith, scripture, and our lives.
Everything from current events to topics on the gospels and worship are shared.
Often in partnership with Book Passage, Calvary hosts events with current authors speaking about their most recent books. We have welcomed authors Reza Aslan, Lisa Sharon Harper, Carolyn Chen, Anne Lamott, and Ronan Farrow.

November 19, 2023 - Paul Tate & Tenisha Tate-Austin • Documentary: Our America: Lowballed
It was an absolutely informative session with one of the couples featured in the documentary Lowballed.
If you haven't had a chance to watch the film yet,
please stream it here for free.
Paul and Tenisha had a housing appraisal in Marin City, CA where the appraiser lowballed them by an incredulous amount because they had 'black items' in their house, like food, art, books, clothes, and more. After seeing several red flags on their appraisal, they experimented later on by taking their belongings out of their house and replaced them with 'white items' and their next appraisal was $500,000 higher than the previous one. The documentary highlights a few black and brown families across America that have experienced this part of systemic racism.
We continue to march forward in unity, action, and spirit for justice of the oppressed.
