Nursery
For families with infants and young children
Calvary offers child care for younger children whose parents are attending classes and/or worship. Children of any age are part of our community and we welcome them as full participants in our common life. We encourage families to worship together, and to feel free to come and go during the service to meet children’s needs. The nursery is provided to help meet the needs of parents and children. The nursery is available for children under the age of three during the 9 a.m. service and the Christian Education hour, and up to age 6 during the 11 a.m. service. We are staffed by experienced adults and have a pager system that will notify you if you need to return to the nursery.

Children’s Classes
For Preschool through Sixth grade
We are using Living the Good News, a lectionary based curriculum. The mission is to shape and transform lives and communities though shared experiences of the Sunday readings. This vision guides every activity, reading and suggestion in the program. Check out the website www.livingthegoodnews.com.

For young people – Seventh and Eighth grade
This class will be using the lectionary based programs of Living the Good News and Faith Lens. They will have discussions about the lectionary and be active in completing projects in the church. At the completion of this two year class, the young people will come away with a strong sense of being a part of the Calvary Church community.

For young people – grades Nine and older
This post confirmation group meets in the conference room with a team of adult leaders.  Various lessons and activities are incorporated each week. 

Calvary’s Youth Group has a Middle School youth group for grades 6 through 8 and a Senior group for those in grades 9 through 12. Please check the website and the Sunday bulletin for information about meeting times.

Inquirers’ Class – To be a Christian means to live life in response to God, and the Episcopal and Anglican tradition offers a broad and comprehensive way to live out that life.

It is ideal for those who would like to engage their faith more fully, deepen their understanding of the Episcopal Church, or who are seeking to be Confirmed or Received into the Church.
