Midweek Connect
Wednesday and Thursday nights during the school year are full of activity at Calvary and offer a little something for everyone! These family ministry nights strive to invest in the next generation in age-specific and family-friendly ways.
Awana Clubs serve kids from age 3 through 6th grade during the school year. Cubbies serves age 3 through 5; Sparks is for Kindergarten through Grade 2, and T&T is attended by grades 3-6. In each club, kids will enjoy game time, Bible story time, meeting 1:1 with a caring adult, and more.
Cubbies meet from 6:25-7:45pm. Sparks and T&T meet from 6:25-8:00pm. A parent or other adult must check-in and pick up children on these nights.
For questions or registration information about Awana, contact our Awana Director
Youth group is for students grades 6-12. On Wednesday nights, students will experience dynamic Bible teaching, fun games, small group discussions, and lots more. No pre-registration is required, and students do not need a parent to check them in or out.
Youth hang out time is from 5:30pm-6:45pm (students can arrive anywhere in this time frame). Middle school programming is from 6:45-8:00pm, while high school programming is from 6:45pm-8:15pm. An open gym is available until 8:45pm.
Further, high school students (and 8th graders with expressed permission from their parents) can join a discussion from 8:30pm-10:00pm called Lifeguards where students lead and engage in deeper theological study and practical application (guided by adults).
Childcare is provided on Thursday nights for kids of those who are volunteering. To enroll a child in childcare, please contact Amy Bowers.
Thursday night meal is served from 5:30-6:30pm. Suggested donation is $3 per meal.
Family Ministry Milestones
This incredibly helpful website, which includes an experience each year from birth through age 18, equips parents with tools to engage in activities with their children that make memories and help families focus on Jesus.
Two spiritual milestones in the lives of our kids are communion and baptism. However, sometimes it’s hard to know the right time or whether our kids are ready for these big next steps.
Calvary has created some helpful resources for families to aid in navigating these conversations. Please see the links below to printable PDF resources.
