Children's Church

Calvary's Children's Church provides programs for children ages 1st through 6th grade on Sunday Evenings @ 6:00 PM and for the younger children on Sunday Mornings and Wednesday evenings.

On Sunday Morning, for ages 2 through kindergarten, Children's Church is provided during the entire time of the adult worship service.
On Sunday Evening, for ages 2 through 6th grade, we have our children's church program.
On Wednesday, babies through pre-kindergarten are cared for in the toddler nursery on the main floor.

We provide Bible based instruction and activities that provide an age appropriate worship service. This ministry to the children of the Calvary Baptist family and its guests is also a ministry to the parents. We want the parents to feel that their children are welcome, safe and learning about the Lord.

The Lord has once again given us a large number of children to serve and an outstanding staff. We have truly been blessed with teachers and helpers who genuinely care for the children and about building Biblical truths into their lives. If you or someone you know has a heart for serving one month each quarter with our children, please let one of the pastors or Jill Bolhuis know. there are needs in almost every area. We enjoy working alongside new teachers to get them off to a good start. We continue to praise the Lord for sending just the right people at just the right time.

We thank the Lord that Calvary Baptist is a church with so many children to minister to. We want to be part of making our church body one which strengthens families and works alongside them to raise Godly children.

AWANA Approved workmen are not ashamed – II Timothy 2:15
The Awana Clubs are for children ages 3 – 6th grade. Our purpose is “to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ, and train them to serve him.” Clubs meet Wednesday night throughout the school year from 6:10 – 8:00 pm.

Club meetings have three segments: Handbook Time, Council Time, and Game Time. Handbook Time focuses on the Bible. Kids recite the sections they have memorized during the week. Council Time combines singing and Bible lessons to help kids grow in the principles of God’s Word. Game Time needs little explanation – it is active and fun.

Cubbies (3-4 years old) Cubbie Bear and his friends invite three- and four-year-old preschoolers to learn basic Bible truths along with their colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. Cubbies also have crafts and snacks each week.

	Sparks (kindergarten – 2nd grade) Sparky the firefly encourages Sparkies to achieve the ranks of Skipper, Hiker, and Climber by memorizing verses and completing activities in their handbooks.

Truth & Training (3rd – 6th grade) Boys and girls are off on an Ultimate Adventure in the T&T clubs. Through Discoveries and Challenges, they learn Bible basics and Christian living. Plateau parties encourage kids to work hard to complete their book during the year.
