Parking Sign-Ups: 33 Spots Left!

We did not quite reach our goal of having 75% of our State Fair parking shifts filled on Sunday. Apparently, hearing Jacob sing karaoke was not as motivating as I thought. Perhaps it is a good thing you do not have to hear either of us sing.

Next year, I may change the challenge: “If we do not reach 75%, Jacob and Pastor Tim will sing a duet!”

Our new goal is to have 100% of the parking shifts filled by the end of Sunday, August 16. If we reach it, Jacob and I will drink mystery slushies at the end of the service. It may not be exciting for us, but it should be entertaining for everyone else.

We currently have 33 spots remaining. You do not need to wait until Sunday to sign up. Email Kristen at [email protected] to see which days and times are still available.

Thank you for helping us serve our community and support this important ministry opportunity!

Prayer and Giving

Got something you need prayer for or an offering to give? We’ve made it easy. Drop prayer requests and tithes in the boxes by the sound booth or back doors, or take care of both online through our website. Same heart, different method.

💙 Care Bags for the Homeless – Help Us Serve! 💙

Looking for a practical way to help those in need? Instead of giving cash, grab a Care Bag filled with essential items for someone experiencing homelessness. These bags are ready to go—just pick one up from the cart in the back hallway and keep it in your car to hand out when needed!

How You Can Help:

🛒 Donate essential items—water, socks, gloves, toothbrushes, band-aids, and more!

📌 Check the cart for what essential items we need — take a stick (items we have listed on the cart) bring the item back, and help restock our supply.

🙌 Lend a hand—help fill the care bags and be part of this ministry!

📩 Questions? Want to get involved? Email [email protected] and we will connect you with Marilyn Tabor, who leads this ministry.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Christ in our community! ❤️

At Calvary Church, we believe children are a gift from God, and we're passionate about helping them know, love, and follow Jesus. Every Sunday, our goal is to partner with parents by providing a safe, caring, and Bible-centered environment where children can grow in their faith and learn practical ways to live for Christ at home, at school, and wherever God has placed them.

Sunday Morning Classes

Nursery

Available every Sunday morning for infants through 2 years old.

Pre-K Class

For potty-trained children through kindergarten. Each week, children enjoy engaging Bible lessons, age-appropriate activities, crafts, and take-home resources that help reinforce the lesson throughout the week.

Grade School (1st through 5th Grade)

Our elementary class meets every Sunday except the first Sunday of each month. On the first Sunday, we celebrate Communion together as a church family, and children are encouraged to worship alongside their parents in the main service.

Bible-Centered Teaching

Our children learn through The Biggest Story curriculum, a Bible-centered curriculum that helps kids see how every part of Scripture points to Jesus Christ. Lessons are designed to help children understand God's Word, apply biblical truth to everyday life, and continue learning together as a family through crafts and take-home handouts.

Safe and Secure

• Your child's safety is one of our highest priorities.
• Every Calvary Kids volunteer is carefully selected and serves because they love Christ and love children. Each volunteer has completed a background check and is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment for every child.
• We also use a secure check-in and check-out process each Sunday, and friendly volunteers are available to help first-time families at every step.

Visiting for the First Time?

When you arrive, stop by the Calvary Kids check-in area, where one of our volunteers will welcome you, answer your questions, and help you get your child checked in quickly and easily.

We would love the opportunity to serve your family and help your children discover the joy of following Jesus.

Our Commitment to You as Parents

We believe parents are God's primary disciples of their children (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Ephesians 6:4). Our desire is to come alongside families by reinforcing biblical truth, encouraging meaningful conversations at home, and equipping children to love Jesus with all their hearts. Everything we do is designed not only to teach God's Word on Sunday but to help children live out their faith throughout the week at home, at school, and wherever God has placed them.
