OUR VISION & VALUES
Our heart for Calvary Kids is to partner with parents to help kids know, love and follow Jesus. We believe in this next generation and are passionate about helping kids discover God’s great love for them.
We desire for kids to know that they are precious to God and that they BELONG. This is why we seek to provide a fun, safe, clean environment where kids of all ages can know that they are invited to be a part of God’s forever family.
We desire to teach kids about Jesus so they can BELIEVE and trust in Him. Jesus said “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14). Because of this, we want to lead kids to Jesus in order that they may know Him as Savior, Lord and friend!
We desire to help kids discover God’s plan for their lives so that they can BECOME His disciples and follow after Him. This is why Calvary Kids isn’t “childcare”. We want to inspire kids to obey Jesus with their whole lives; so we worship, learn from the Bible, pray and more!
SUNDAYS
We use The Gospel Project curriculum by Lifeway. In September of 2021 we began another three year cycle through the whole Bible. This curriculum is filled with incredible lessons and interactive studies that seek to connect kids to Jesus in every story that is told.
“The Gospel Project is a chronological Bible study that shows how all Scripture points us to Jesus. What we’re trying to do is help kids see how the Bible fits together to tell one big story—God’s plan to rescue and redeem sinners through faith in Jesus Christ.”

Our Club Five Six program aims to intentionally prepare 5th and 6th graders for following Jesus in their teen years. Using Brite Curriculum specifically for this age group, kids will be exposed to an overview of the whole Bible chronologically and see God’s great story played out through creation, fall, redemption and restoration. Each Sunday includes a time of worship and outside play along with a Bible teaching, a video further communicating the lesson, activities and small groups all in an effort to help kids know God and learn to walk in His ways.
As well, Club Five Six gathers several times a year for game nights where kids can enjoy a fun time connecting with each other and their leaders through dinner and games.

Club 56
As we look at this next generation and the unique pressures they are facing growing up in an increasingly secular culture, we want to come alongside you as parents and provide more opportunities to intentionally prepare 5th & 6th graders for their teen years. One of the ways that we plan to do this is by absorbing 6th grade back under the umbrella of Calvary Kids.
PARENTS
God has given parents the enormous calling and privilege of shaping and preparing their kids for a lifetime of following Jesus. Our heart is to partner with you, parents, as you endeavor to raise the next generation of Jesus followers. Here are some ways we want to serve you:
-
Sign up for our weekly parent newsletter to stay connected to Calvary Kids. Each week we will email you a short recap of the lesson that was taught the previous Sunday with discussion questions and optional family activities you can use. We will also occasionally include helpful links, articles, and encouragements.

We hope to come alongside you in your journey to raise godly kids by recommending resources on a host of different parenting topics. Here are some resources that our team has found helpful in discipling our kids to know, love and follow Jesus.
