Children, Youth, & Family Ministries

Together with our children and youth, we learn about faith and grow in God,

supporting both our young people and their parents and guardians in faith-formation.

Welcome Parents & Guardians

We support adults by providing experiences to reinforce what is being learned at home.

During Sunday Studio and Sunday Youth we learn more about God’s love by offering weekly age-appropriate lessons and activities that connect with themes parents and guardians hear in worship.

Sunday Studio

Sundays: Infant to 11 years (up to 5th grade), Lower Level

Every Sunday from 8:45 am - 12:30 pm we invite children ages infant to 11 years to notice God’s presence, question, play, and sing. The story links to the theme focused on in worship and a game, craft, or free play activity.

Youth Ministry

Sundays: 11 to 18 years (6th - 12th grade), balcony

Youth at Calvary serve together, learn together, and have fun together! There are volunteer and fellowship opportunities throughout the year.

On Sundays, youth are invited to sit together in the balcony or with their families and stay in worship through the sermon. After the sermon, we gather for fellowship and conversation in the library & lounge. A Confirmation Class for ages ~13+ is offered during the school year.

Matthew 18:5

Here at Calvary, we equip children, youth, and families with the knowledge that they are loved by God and this community through fellowship.

We encourage children, youth, and families to grow in their relationship with God by providing times for education, prayer, and play, as well as give children, youth, and families opportunities to serve and give generously.

FAQs

Can our kids stay in worship with me?

Yes! We encourage families to sit together. Wiggles, coloring, and questions are ok.
What if my child is new to childcare?

Sometimes children need their parents to accompany them to explore childcare areas on one or more Sundays. If your child is upset and we are unable to distract them, we will text you.
What can my 2nd - 5th graders do in a multi-age group?

Elementary-age children are welcome to join periodic 2nd & 3rd grade and 4th & 5th grade class series. They are invited to play board games, make crafts with their peers or help younger children.
