Calvary Kids

Calvary Kids is our way of connecting with the next generation, from newborns all the way to Grade 5. We meet on Sunday mornings downstairs during the 9 a.m. service.. We want to be a part of the support system your family needs to go deep in Christ, live out authentic faith and make disciples.

Nursery

Ages: Newborn to 18 months old
Based on space requirements, our capacity limit for Nursery is: 4 children at each service

If you have children newborn to 2 years, our nursery may be a helpful room for you and your little one. We have dedicated staff who will gladly watch your children while you participate in our service Sunday morning. We also offer a dedicated space for nursing moms equipped with baby supplies and a video feed of the service.

Active toddlers, 18 months to 3 years of age, will have fun in our Toddler Room. Toys and games, along with Bible stories, music and crafts make for an enjoyable, fun-filled morning. Our team of trained and screened leaders is ready to welcome your toddler and spend the morning caring for, playing with, and showing them Jesus’ love. Our goal is to provide opportunities for our toddlers to learn three important truths: God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus Wants to Be My Friend Forever!

Calvary Kids Music

Songs that reflect Biblical truth are so important to plant in the hearts of our kids! Please find two great Spotify playlists below so that your kids can connect with songs that they sing at church and that have Christian values. Save the playlist to your Spotify account so that you can search it easily!

What to Expect Sunday Morning

Please remember that what works for one family does not work for another, so if you would like to have your children in the service with you, they are more than welcome to remain with you. Also, our children’s ministry program is experiencing a season of growth, and there will be Sundays in which our capacity has been reached, and because of this children will need to join their family in the service.

Children’s Ministry opens at 8:30 a.m. If you arrive earlier than that, please stay with our child to give our volunteers time to prepare for their classes. Thank you!

What We Are Learning

Children enjoy an in-depth study in both Large and Small Group. Through this process, children go deeper into the Bible, through a SUPER BOOK BIBLE EPISODE, become empowered as they memorize Scripture, through the SUPER VERSE and learn to apply what they discover in their everyday lives, by understanding the daily SUPER TRUTH. Lessons also incorporate Signpost videos to reveal the foreshadowing of Jesus Christ throughout Scripture. Each lesson incorporates opportunities for children to PRAY about lesson application, as well as personal prayer application and requests.

Calvary Kids Goals

The goals of Calvary Kids are rooted in the Word of God. We want our children to know and be transformed by the power of the gospel. Every week we look to pray with our kids, point them to Christ and point them to God’s Word. We actively help kids memorize the Word of God and learn the promises that God so that they are equipped with a strong foundation for the future.
