Family Ministries

Calvary has a number of ministries and fellowship opportunities for children and their parents. Please contact us at any time for information about any of the programs below:

Nursery Ministries
Young families seem to be growing faster than any other group at Calvary. Families at Calvary welcomed over 50 new babies into our church just last year!

Nursery care is available every Sunday from 8:30am - 12:30pm, and for some special events. We are blessed to have a Nursery staff of seven paid Caregivers and one Nursery Supervisor. Our Nursery is also equipped with a pager system.

Our New Baby Welcome Team works to welcome new babies and provide love and support to their families. They deliver hot meals, go on stroller walks, make phone calls and more. If you are expecting or know someone who is expecting, let us know!

Playgroup with a Purpose is a group of care providers and parents of children up to 3 years old, who gather each week for fellowship, conversation, learning and support.

The Nursery Mission Team lay ministers are an important part of Nursery ministries at Calvary. The Nursery Mission Team is made up of parents and other church members using their gifts to minister to families and young children.


Children's Ministries
Children's Meditation Every Sunday at the 8:45am service, children are invited to come forward for a short Children's Meditation. After the meditation children are encouraged to return to their seats with their families or be escorted to the third floor for Children's Choir of childcare.

Children's Choir takes place every Sunday at 9:00am on the third floor and is open to any child from Kindergartedn through 3rd grade. Children have fun singing and laughing with their friends. The messages children learn through song stay with them forever and can serve as ever-ready personal spiritual resources.

Sunday School takes place each Sunday from 9:45am - 10:45am. It begins with a music time led by church staff member Dorothy Pett, and choir member Dick Clark. This time is affectionately known as "Dorothy and Dick Time." After Dorothy and Dick Time, children split up into their age-appropriate Sunday School classes (ages 2-3, Pre-K, K-1st, 2nd/3rd, and 4th/5th). Children enjoy Bible stories and hands-on activities taught by a group of more than 20 caring and dedicated volunteer Sunday School teachers.

The Children's Mission Team, like the Nursery Ministries, is highly "lay-leader" driven. Children's Mission Team is a group of lay ministers working together to organize events and activities that foster fellowship and spiritual growth.

Throughout the year, the Children's Mission Team sponsors various special events including the Christmas Pageant, our annual Easter Egg Hunt, and Vacation Bible School.
