4th of July Church Picnic

Join us on Sunday, July 5, immediately following our morning worship service for our annual 4th of July Church Picnic!

One of the greatest blessings of church life is spending time together outside of Sunday worship. This picnic is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, enjoy a meal, strengthen friendships, meet someone new, and encourage one another as the body of Christ.

We'll gather in the gym after the service. The church will provide hot dogs, chili, and drinks. We simply ask each family to bring one side dish and one dessert to share.

To make things easy, the gym will be open before the morning service so you can drop off your food before heading into worship.

Whether you've been attending Calvary Church for years or you're brand new, we'd love for you to stay and enjoy the afternoon with us. We hope you'll make plans to join us!

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.

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.

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.
