CONNECTING WITH ONE ANOTHER AS WE EXPLORE GOD’S STORY TOGETHER
Nursery care (0-5 years old)
Nursery care is provided for children from 15 months - 5 years old during our worship service on Sundays and for many special services and events. Our Children’s Ministry Assistant leads a group of caring volunteers each week to ensure our little ones are happy and safe. Snacks and age-appropriate Bible lessons are provided. A family room in the nursery area is available for parents to experience a live-stream of the worship service while staying with their own younger children or those who might need more time getting comfortable in the space. Extra COVID precautions include fully vaccinated volunteers, masking (as tolerated for children over 2), and nursery PODS to limit exposure.
nursery assistants: Leah Adair, Becky Caldwell Tautges, Gretchen Robb
Calvary kids village (elementary age)
Calvary Kids Village (CKV) is a community helping kids find their place in God’s family. Children are dismissed midway through Sunday’s worship service for engaging lessons, games, snacks, and small groups. Extra COVID precautions include fully vaccinated volunteers, masking for all participants, and increased time outdoors.

youth group (7th - 12th grade)
Our youth room is a space for young people to explore, ask questions, have fun, and belong in community as we seek God together. Youth gather Sundays during the 2nd half of the worship service. During youth group Wednesday nights we seek to connect through the story of Scripture, the stories of our lives, Christian history, and the world around us.
Director of youth ministry: Kadrian Chambers
emerging adults (11th - 12th grade)
Older youth are invited into full participation in Calvary’s worship and congregational life. They join with youth group some weeks and on other Sundays we work to connect them with ministry opportunities based on their unique gifts like singing with the choir, volunteering with kids’ ministry, running sound or tech, welcoming guests, or making awesome drinks within Global Grounds, our student-run coffee shop. Special opportunities include both missional and wilderness experiences during the summer.
