Preschool & Children's Ministry
Our Preschool and Children’s Ministry cares for children, birth through 5th grade, teaching them to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ. We partner with families, offering support and resources for every stage of their child’s spiritual development.
Preschool
Sunday School
Sundays, 9:45-10:45AM
Sunday School is the basic Bible teaching program of our preschool ministry. Here preschoolers experience a time of age appropriate learning of Bible stories and Bible verses through activities such as art, blocks, homeliving, music, puzzles, books, and other fun activities. Babies through Kindergarten meet on the first floor of EB1.
Worship Care
Sundays at 8:30am & 11:00am
Worship Care is where preschoolers are cared for and taught while parents attend worship. Bible-learning activities continue during this time. Worship Care is provided for preschoolers, birth through PreK4, by our baby teachers, parents of preschoolers and other volunteers from our Calvary church family. Our five-year-olds attend worship with their parents and once each month participate in the Preschoolers Experiencing Worship (P.E.W.) program following the children’s sermon at 11:00.
Preschool Praise Kids
Wednesdays at 5:45pm
Children play a vital role in the life of Calvary Baptist Church. We do our very best to help children develop and grow in their Christian faith through music and other activities to stimulate creativity through the arts. The primary music activity for preschool and children in elementary is the children’s choir program. Each Wednesday night during the school year our children (3 yrs. through fifth grade) experience music through singing, playing instruments and movement. Staffed by wonderful Christian role models, this is a time for fellowship, music making and learning the fundamentals of music and the Christian faith.
Mission Friends
Wednesdays at 6:30pm
Mission Friends for Preschoolers is the church missions organization for three year olds through Kindergarten. Mission Friends provides hands-on missions learning experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on others, to become aware that not everyone knows God’s love and to understand ways they can help others know of God’s love in their city, country, and around the world. Mission Friends meets during the school year.
Children
Sunday School
Sundays, 9:45-10:45AM
Sunday School is the basic Bible teaching program of our Children’s ministry. It is the backbone of all we do! We have a great time of Bible study with teachers who are prepared to help the children learn Bible stories, memorize Bible verses, know how to use their Bibles and discover that the Bible is their guide for Christian living. We believe learning the Bible can be fun! Our desire is to help the children learn God’s truth and help them apply it to their everyday lives. Elementary-aged children meet on the second floor of EB1 for Sunday School.

Missions Kids
Wednesdays 6:30PM
GAs and RAs are mission programs for girls and boys designed to help them learn about missions and missionaries in our community, country and world. Each Wednesday during the school year children learn about, pray for, and give to missions, missionaries, and their work. Children also experience a special International Mission Study in the fall. Our committed missions education leaders seek to involve children in projects outside the walls of Calvary and help them to be “doers of the Word,” several times during the year.
Summer Camps
Each summer Calvary offers several day camps to engage kids in hands-on fun and learning. We host Vacation Bible School, Creative Arts Camp, and STEAM Camp. Calvary's day camps are offered at no cost and also have optional extended hours (for a fee) to help working families. Our children in grades 3-5 also attend PASSPORTkids Camp, an overnight camp (cost varies from year to year).
