Our church nursery provides a safe and nurturing environment for infants and toddlers up to age 2.
This fun-filled space is equipped with toys and opportunities for your child to make new friends.

During all services, our nursery is staffed by wonderful and loving workers whose top priority is ensuring your child's happiness and safety while you enjoy the service.
Each Sunday morning, our church is filled with the joy and laughter of children growing in their faith! We offer age-specific classes for kids of all ages (birth-5th grade), led by a team of loving, dedicated adults who are passionate about helping children know and experience the love of Jesus.

Sunday School is more than just a class—it's a place where kids feel welcomed, valued, and excited to learn about God. Through interactive storytelling, age-appropriate Bible lessons, fun games, hands-on activities, crafts, music, and more, children are introduced to God’s Word in ways that are engaging and easy to understand. Whether it’s a preschooler learning about creation or an elementary-aged child exploring the life of Jesus, every lesson is designed to bring the Bible to life in real and meaningful ways.
During Sunday Morning Worship Service, children ages 3 to 3rd grade are dismissed to the Front Lobby after the "Choir Special" and can be picked up in the Choir Room at the conclusion of the service.

While in Children's Church, they will engage in singing praise and worship songs, learn Bible verses, explore important people of the Bible, and discover how to grow in their faith and apply Scripture. All of this takes place in a fast-paced, interactive, and fun environment designed to keep them engaged and excited about their faith.
At Calvary, we believe in helping children grow in their faith, develop strong character, and build lasting friendships in a fun and engaging environment. That’s why we’re excited to offer the Awana program—a place where children from preschool through grade school can discover the joy of knowing Jesus Christ while having fun, memorizing Scripture, and participating in exciting games and activities.

Awana stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, based on 2 Timothy 2:15, and it’s designed to create a safe, loving space where children can develop a strong biblical foundation. Whether they’re learning memory verses, diving into Bible stories, or making new friends, Awana offers something for every child to grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word.

Each summer, our church comes alive with laughter, music, and joyful hearts during Vacation Bible School! Designed for children ages 4 through 5th grade, VBS is a week-long, fun-filled spiritual adventure where kids dive into exciting Bible stories, hands-on activities, creative crafts, upbeat worship, and high-energy games.
More than just fun, VBS helps kids discover how God’s Word applies to their everyday lives. Through engaging lessons and meaningful conversations, children grow in their faith, build friendships, and learn how to live out God's love in real and practical ways.

Whether it's their first time or they’ve been coming for years, every child leaves VBS with a heart full of joy and a deeper understanding of God's amazing love. Don’t miss this unforgettable week of faith, fun, and friendship!
Each year, our rising 3rd through 5th graders get to experience an unforgettable 3-day summer camp filled with faith, fun, and friendship! It's the perfect opportunity for kids to take a break from their everyday routine and dive into a few days of adventure, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections—all in a safe and Christ-centered environment.

From exciting outdoor games and team challenges to campfire worship and inspiring Bible lessons, every moment is packed with purpose and joy. Campers grow closer to God through daily devotionals, prayer time, and small group discussions designed just for their age. They’ll explore how to live boldly for Christ, love others well, and trust God in everyday life. This camp is more than just fun—it's a time for kids to build lasting memories, deepen their faith, and discover how much God loves them.
We are thrilled to offer Upward Sports—a fun, Christ-centered sports program designed to inspire children to develop their athletic skills while growing in their faith. Through Upward, kids have the opportunity to participate in basketball and cheerleading, all while learning valuable life lessons and biblical truths.

Upward Sports is not just about competition; it’s about building character, teamwork, and most importantly, a relationship with Jesus Christ. Every practice and game focuses on the values of encouragement, respect, and sportsmanship, creating a positive environment where children can thrive both on and off the field.
The Children's Choir provides a wonderful opportunity for kids in grades K-5 to grow in their faith and express their love for God through music! Children learn a variety of songs that praise and glorify our Lord, helping them understand the power of worship through song. Weekly practices throughout the school year help children develop their vocal skills, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of the power of worship.

The choir performs during worship service, community outings, and musicals throughout the year, allowing children to share their talents and build confidence in a supportive, faith-filled environment. It’s an amazing opportunity for kids to participate in meaningful worship and develop lasting friendships with other children and adult mentors. If your child loves to sing and wants to be a part of something truly special, the Children’s Choir is the perfect place to grow in faith, music, and fellowship.
